Abstract

Due to their biodegradability and low toxicity, biosurfactants have recently attracted much attention. Here, microemulsions (MEs) are constructed by an excellent biosurfactant, surfactin, via low energy emulsification. Rheological properties, kinetic stability, thermodynamic stability, and long-term storage capacity of microemulsions were characterized. The effect of pH and different gelling agents on the phase behavior and the formation of microemulsion-gels were also explored. The results reveal that the MEs show no significant change in droplet size under high-speed centrifugation, providing great kinetic stability, which enables the MEs to maintain their stability under bumpy and rugged transportation conditions. The MEs are thermodynamically stable and can be restored to their original state after experiencing extreme conditions such as high temperature (58 °C) or freeze-thawing cycles, facilitating the use of the MEs under extreme conditions and promoting the shelf-life of production. The addition of different gelling agents did not show any significant changes to MEs and not disrupt the formation of the MEs, meaning that the MEs constructed by surfactin are stable and possess antioxidant potential and moisturizing effects.

由生物表面活性剂构成的微乳

生物表面活性剂因其可生物降解性和低毒性而受到广泛关注。在这里，微乳液（MEs）是由一种优秀的生物表面活性剂，表面素，通过低能乳化构建的。对微乳的流变性能、动力学稳定性、热力学稳定性和长期储存能力进行了表征。探讨了pH和不同胶凝剂对微乳凝胶的相行为和形成的影响。结果表明，在高速离心作用下，微晶微粒的液滴大小没有明显变化，具有良好的动力学稳定性，使微晶微粒在颠簸和崎岖的运输条件下保持稳定性。MEs具有热力学稳定性，在高温（58℃）或冻融循环等极端条件下可以恢复到原来的状态，有利于MEs在极端条件下的使用，提高了产品的保质期。不同胶凝剂的加入对微微环境没有明显的影响，也没有破坏微微环境的形成，说明表面素构建的微微环境是稳定的，具有抗氧化和保湿作用。图形抽象
