Table 2 Comparison of CMC value and corresponding surface tension for petroselinic acid (PA) and oleic acid (OA) based sophorolipid compounds

From: Petroselinic acid purification and its use for the fermentation of new sophorolipids

 

CMC (mg/L)

Surface tension (mN/m)

PA SL lactone

4.2 ± 0.1

34.3 ± 0.0

OA SL lactone

45.1 ± 0.1

33.9 ± 0.7

PA SL acid

154 ± 5

42.0 ± 0.3

OA SL acid

245 ± 9

40.9 ± 0.3

  1. The data for the OA based sophorolipid compounds were previously determined by Roelants et al. (2015)
