Protein-Based Surfactants (Surfactant Science Series) by: Nnanna I.A., Xia J

"Describes preparation techniques of protein-based surfactants (PBS) in the laboratory by a variety of chemical and enzymatic means, production by using different types of amino acids, and marketplace applications of PBS in medical and personal care products, detergents, cosmetics, antimicrobial agents, and foods."

Surfactants have broad applications in many areas. For example, they are used either as essential additives or as processing aids in production and processing of materials that surround us. Surfactants are major constituents of laundry detergents, industrial cleaners, and cosmetics. Some surfactants are used as wetting, emulsifying, defoaming, or solubilizing agents in the pharmaceutical, textile, food, and petroleum industries.The book brings together fundamental and applied aspects of PBS, drawing perspectives from diversified researchers to provide comprehensive information on the subject. It provides viewpoints on synthesis (chemical, enzymatic, or chemoenzymatic processes), properties (safety, antimicrobial, biodegradability, etc.), and other special features of PBS. The first of the ten chapters provides an overview of surfactant properties, technology, application, environmental issues, and new concepts in the field. Chapter 2 takes a look at the natural raw materials and agricultural by-products for PBS synthesis. Chapter 3 discusses protein interactions at interfaces, reviewing enzymatic reactions at the interfaces and naturally occurring protein surfactants. Chapter 4 discusses amino acid surfactants, their chemical synthesis and physicochemical properties. Chapters 5 and 6 discuss enzymatic approaches to synthesis of PBS. Chapter 7 describes the preparation and properties of ionic and nonionic surfactants containing peptides or amino acids with perhydrogenated or perfluorinated chains. Chapter 8 provides insights on potential interactions of PBS with other compounds. Chapter 9 discusses potential applications of PBS including formulation, detergency, emulsion, foaming, cosmetics, personal cares, biotechnology, and other industrial applications. Chapter 10 examines the current market development and trends. Extensive references are given at the end of each chapter so that the reader can obtain further details elsewhere.
