Application areas | Application Notes |
petroleum industry | As a biosurfactant, it reduces the interfacial tension between oil and water, and can be used in tertiary oil recovery technology after primary and secondary oil recovery to improve oilfield recovery rates.
As a sacrificial agent, it reduces the amount of expensive displacement agents used or their loss in the formation. When combined with other displacement agents, it has the advantages of good oil displacement effect and long-lasting effect. The addition of rhamnolipids effectively reduces the amount of displacement agents used, significantly lowering costs. |
agriculture | It has the ability to promote crop nutrient absorption, improve the soil environment, promote early maturity, increase yield and income, and prevent some pests and diseases. Rhamnose lipids can serve as an effective way for plants to absorb heavy metal ions from the soil, making it a good method for in-situ treatment of soil contaminated with heavy metals using phytotechnology.
As a wetting agent, when added to foliar fertilizers, it improves the wetting of the foliar fertilizer in the waxy layer, allowing the fertilizer to spread fully and promoting the maximum absorption and utilization of nutrients. |
food industry | It can be used to improve the stability of dough or batter, dough texture, better control the expansion volume and shape of baked goods, and facilitate the storage of baked products. Rhamnose lipolipids can be further used to improve the stability of thickened butter, decorative butter, and the stability of non-dairy cream fillings in Danish pastries, croissants, and other fresh or frozen refined sugary foods.
In fruit and vegetable preservation, it is mainly manifested in the form of a coating agent. When applied to the surface of fruits and vegetables, it forms a thin film that prevents oxygen from entering, creating a low-oxygen microclimate environment within the film, reducing respiration, and thus extending the shelf life of fruits and vegetables. |
Pharmaceutical manufacturing | It can be used to treat wounds and burns, accelerating the healing process and reducing scarring associated with other treatments. It is also effective in treating skin diseases such as psoriasis and dermatitis, and combating fungal and bacterial infections.
Furthermore, it can be used as a coated scaffold, implant, prosthesis, and bandage, and for preventing gum disease. |
Daily chemical industry | It can diffuse substances through its dispersing and wetting properties. This helps retain moisture, lubricate, and generate foam; it can maintain the stability of mixtures, control product viscosity, and emulsify oil in pores, reducing acne breakouts. |
