Description 613-621
Rhamnolipids are bio-surfactants with strong surface active characteristics. These are potential additives for cosmetic
formulations. The production of these molecules is possible through various routes, however, their synthesis from renewable
sources using bio-agents can be environment friendly and economical. Studies on bacteria are in focus for the development
of rhamnolipid bio-surfactant. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the bacteria being studied in depth because of its
efficiency to form rhamnolipids from a range of carbon, nitrogen, substrate sources, such as tree borne oils, modified fats
and blends. The rhamnolipid synthesis process was improved using response surface approach. The produced rhamnolipid
has been used for preparing a cosmetic formulation. The product has shown good stability. The current study's findings
indicated that the use of mathematical modeling is extremely successful in determining optimum reaction conditions and
increasing the yield of a specific bio-process.
