“Sophorolipid” is typically a complex mixture of at least two glycolipids
made by partial hydrolysis of the water insoluble sophorolipid lactone form :
Composition and properties of
“Sophorolipds”
Complex mixture with C16-C18 saturated or (poly)unsaturated carbon chain
with 0 - 2 acetyl group
Properties depend strongly (but not only) on ratio of lactone to acid form
„The“ one and only sophorolipid does not exist

Consumer perception
“The longer the foam lasts the
better the performance“
Requirements
Sufficient foam during foam creation
(clean conditions)
Persistent foam during cleaning process
(dirty conditions)
Foaming of hand dish wash (HDW)
liquids is highly consumer relevant:

Your take home messages
Page 39
- There is not „the one and only” Sophorolipid
- (Foam) properties of sophorolipids strongly depend on composition (lactone, acid, free acid)
- The less oleic acid the higher foam volume
- Properties can be fine-tuned especially with regard to foaming
- Proportional betaine replacement (50% CAPB) best choice (synergies)
- Evonik SL superior to market SL w/o soil, olive oil, high fat soil (~28% foam increase at same active)
- High grease removal efficacy (+28 % over SLES/CAPB)
- High grease removal efficacy (3 times larger than market SL)
- Evonik SL exhibits better cleaning performance than other secondary surfactants
- Excellent hard water tolerance
- Potential to exchange existing builder systems
