[0048] Table 1 Minimum inhibitory concentration test of surfactant
[0049]
[0050]
[0051] The surfactant was added to the liquid agar medium to prepare the surfactant culture solution, which was placed in a test tube and then heat-treated in boiling water at 100°C for 2 hours. After cooling to room temperature, the minimum inhibitory concentration MIC (ug / mL) of the test bacteria was tested.
[0052] Table 2 Minimum inhibitory concentration test of surfactant after heat treatment
[0053]
[0054] The surfactant was added into water to prepare a solution with a mass concentration of 0.2-2 g / L, and the surface tension of the solution was tested using a surface tension tester.
[0055] Table 3 Surface tension test
[0056]
[0057] The long-acting bactericidal surfactant prepared by testing Examples 1-3 contains a diquaternary ammonium salt antibacterial group, which has a strong positive charge and can electrostatically interact with the negatively charged cell membrane of bacteria, so that the surfactant is attached to the cell membrane surface, improves the permeability of the cell membrane, and allows the genetic material such as enzymes in the cell membrane to escape, destroying the normal metabolism and reproduction of bacteria, thereby achieving an excellent bactericidal effect. The minimum inhibitory concentration MIC of the surfactant in Example 2 for Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, and Candida albicans is only 0.391ug / mL, 0.391ug / mL, 25ug / mL, and 3.125ug / mL. And the long-acting bactericidal surfactant has good heat resistance. After 100°C heat treatment, it still has a very low minimum inhibitory concentration for Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, and Candida albicans, showing long-acting antibacterial performance.
[0058] The long-acting bactericidal surfactant contains multiple hydrophilic carboxyl groups, quaternary ammonium salts, hydroxyl hydrophilic groups, and hydrophobic phenyl alkyl long chains. It has a strong surface active effect and significantly reduces the surface tension of the solution. When the mass concentration of the long-acting bactericidal surfactant in Example 3 is 0.2-2g / L, the surface tension of the solution is only 58.1-12.0mN / m. The lower the surface tension, the better the wetting, emulsification and dispersibility, which is conducive to the practical application of surfactants in washing powder, laundry liquid, etc.
[0059] The intermediate 2 of comparative example 1 does not have a diquaternary ammonium salt antibacterial group, has no antibacterial effect on bacteria such as Escherichia coli, and has no minimum inhibitory concentration. It also does not contain hydroxyl groups or diquaternary ammonium salt hydrophilic groups, and its solution surface tension and surface activity are lower than those of the examples.
[0060] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention in other forms. Any technician familiar with the profession may use the technical contents disclosed above to change or modify them into equivalent embodiments with equivalent changes and apply them to other fields. However, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the technical solution of the present invention still falls within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
