Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of daily chemical products technology, and specifically relates to a green biosurfactant with oil-controlling and dandruff-removing effects, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Surfactants are the cornerstone of daily chemical products (such as shampoos, shower gels, and facial cleansers), playing core roles in cleaning, foaming, and emulsification. Their development has evolved from soap-based surfactants to chemically synthesized surfactants, and now to the much-discussed biosurfactants. The driving force behind this evolution is the continuous pursuit of safety, environmental compatibility, and functional diversification.

[0003] For a long time, the personal care market has been dominated by chemically synthesized surfactants, mainly including sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), sodium laureth sulfate (SLES), and cocamidopropyl betaine (CAB). These surfactants are widely used because of their readily available raw materials, low cost, strong cleaning power, and excellent foaming performance. However, as consumers' requirements for product experience and safety have increased, the inherent defects of chemically synthesized surfactants have become increasingly prominent: (1) Irritation problem: Anionic surfactants such as SLS / SLES have a strong degreasing ability and may excessively strip the natural sebum of the stratum corneum of the skin, damaging the skin barrier function, leading to dry and tight skin, and even causing sensitivity, stinging and other problems; (2) Environmental pressure: The production of chemically synthesized surfactants depends on petrochemical raw materials, and their biodegradability is relatively poor. Some metabolites may have a lasting impact on the environment, which is contrary to the concept of global sustainable development.

[0004] To address these challenges, the industry has turned its attention to biosurfactants. Biosurfactants are surface-active amphiphilic compounds produced by microorganisms or plants, such as sophorolipids, rhamnolipids, alkyl glycosides (APGs), and tea saponins. They are hailed as "green" surfactants due to their eco-friendly nature, biodegradability, environmentally friendly production processes, and extremely low toxicity and irritation, representing an important direction for future surfactant development. Despite the clear advantages of biosurfactants in safety and environmental friendliness, current industry and consumer perception of them remains primarily based on the labels of "mild" and "green." In commercial applications, the vast majority of biosurfactants have not demonstrated significant and stable specific effects beyond their basic cleaning function (such as strong oil control, dandruff removal, and acne treatment). This often results in these biosurfactants only being used as auxiliary ingredients or conceptual additives, making it difficult for them to become key functional ingredients driving the core efficacy of products.

[0005] The market urgently needs new solutions that combine the gentle and environmentally friendly properties of biosurfactants with precise and powerful efficacy. Currently, when used alone, biosurfactants often cannot match the efficacy of traditional chemical functional ingredients, thus rendering the addition of biosurfactants merely a conceptual addition that cannot truly play a role.

[0044] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects: Currently, the extraction of tea saponins mainly relies on solvent systems such as water or ethanol. However, traditional methods generally suffer from low extraction rates, high energy consumption, and insufficient purity of the obtained products, making it difficult to meet the demands of green and efficient production. This invention applies a beneficial bacteria fermentation system and low-temperature phase change extraction technology as an innovative process to replace traditional solvent extraction. This method uses Lactobacillus fermentation to initially and effectively reduce impurities such as polysaccharides and fiber in tea cake residue, further improving the purity of tea saponins. On the other hand, low-boiling-point liquid methanol is used as the extractant, and subcritical cyclic extraction is carried out in a closed extractor under mild conditions of approximately 40-50 °C and 0.5 MPa. The liquefied gas remains liquid under pressure, which can efficiently dissolve tea saponins, greatly increasing the extraction rate and fully extracting tea saponins from the tea cake residue. During decompression, it rapidly vaporizes, achieving instantaneous and complete separation of the solvent and the target product, avoiding the risk of residual organic solvents.

[0045] This invention proposes a novel strategy for constructing a natural surfactant by combining sophorolipids and tea saponins, resulting in a green biosurfactant. The green biosurfactant of this invention uses water as a solvent and sophorolipids and tea saponins as surfactants. Sophorolipid molecules have high hydrophilicity and dissociability, while tea saponins molecules are based on a triterpenoid steroidal skeleton, possessing both hydrophobic steroidal rings and multiple hydrophilic hydroxyl groups. At gas-liquid and liquid-liquid interfaces, the two can form complementary adsorption layers through hydrophobic interactions, hydrogen bonding, and electrostatic interactions, enhancing the close arrangement of molecules at the interface. This composite effect significantly reduces the surface tension of the system, thus enabling the green biosurfactant to exhibit excellent foam stability and superior surfactant performance without the need for high concentrations of irritating surfactants.

[0046] Tests have shown that the green biosurfactant of this invention has excellent oil control and dandruff removal effects, making it suitable for use in cosmetic emulsions and daily chemical systems, and meeting the market demand for green, safe and efficient products. Detailed Implementation

[0160] The preparation methods for green biosurfactants and sophorolipids are the same as those in Example 1.

[0161] The tea saponin used in this comparative example is commercially available tea saponin.

[0162] Test Example 1: Foam Performance Test Foaming performance is related to the type, purity, and concentration of surfactants, and is also affected by water quality. High hardness (high calcium and magnesium ion content) hinders foam formation. This test simulates the foaming performance of various samples in tap water. Test samples: Green biosurfactants from Examples 1-10 and Comparative Examples 1-14, prepared into 0.05% solutions with deionized water. Simulated tap water formulation: 0.1 g / L CaCl2, 0.1 g / L MgCl2·6H2O.

[0163] Test procedure: The static foam of different test samples at 0 min and 5 min is tested using a Roche foam analyzer. The height difference of the static foam at 0 min and 5 min is calculated to determine the foam stability of the test samples.

[0164] The test results are shown in Table 2 below.

[0165] Table 2

[0166] Test results show that the green biosurfactant of this invention exhibits lower foam collapse after 5 minutes, indicating higher foam stability. This is because the green biosurfactant in this embodiment combines sophorolipid and tea saponin. Sophorolipid molecules have high hydrophilicity and dissociability, while tea saponin molecules are primarily composed of a triterpenoid steroidal skeleton, possessing both hydrophobic steroidal rings and multiple hydrophilic hydroxyl groups. At the gas-liquid and liquid-liquid interfaces, these two molecules can form complementary adsorption layers through hydrophobic interactions, hydrogen bonds, and electrostatic interactions, enhancing the close arrangement of molecules at the interface. This composite effect significantly reduces the surface tension of the system, allowing the green biosurfactant to maintain excellent surfactant performance in a simulated tap water environment, thereby improving foam stability.

[0167] Among them, the foam stability of the green biosurfactants in Examples 1-10 was higher than that in Comparative Examples 1-3, indicating that the critical micelle concentration of the green biosurfactant formed by the combination of sophorolipid and tea saponin was lower. Sophorolipid molecules have high hydrophilicity and dissociability, while tea saponin molecules are mainly composed of triterpenoid steroidal skeletons, with both hydrophobic steroidal rings and multiple hydrophilic hydroxyl groups. At the gas-liquid and liquid-liquid interfaces, the two can form complementary adsorption layers through hydrophobic interactions, hydrogen bonds, and electrostatic interactions, enhancing the close arrangement of molecules at the interface. This composite effect significantly reduces the surface tension of the system. The green surfactant cannot achieve the same effect as the combination of sophorolipid and tea saponin by using only sophorolipid or tea saponin, or by replacing sophorolipid with a similar rhamnolipid. The foam stability of Examples 1-10 was higher than that in Comparative Examples 4-6, indicating that the preparation process of sophorolipid has a great influence on the surface tension of the final green biosurfactant. Comparative Examples 4 and 5 replaced the fermentation oil of *Candida bacillus*, and Comparative Example 6 changed the post-purification method of sophorolipid. These steps all alter the proportions of various sophorolipids in sophorolipids, thus changing the synergistic effect between sophorolipids and tea saponins, affecting the surface tension and foam stability of the final product. In this invention, the carbon source used for fermenting sophorolipids is preferably rapeseed oil and / or sunflower seed oil, and the purification step is preferably a sequential purification process using anion exchange resin, cation exchange resin, and macroporous adsorption resin. The foam stability of Examples 1-10 is higher than that of Comparative Examples 7-9, indicating that the bacterial strain used for extracting tea saponins has a significant impact on the type of tea saponins in the final green biosurfactant. Different bacterial strains result in different metabolic products, leading to differences in the structure of the purified tea saponins, which weakens the synergistic effect between sophorolipids and tea saponins, thereby affecting the foam stability of the final product. This invention preferably uses Lactobacillus fermentation to extract tea saponins through fermentation. The foam stability of Examples 1-10 was superior to that of Comparative Examples 10-12, indicating that the fermentation method, the purification steps of tea saponins, and the solvent used in subcritical circulating extraction affect the types of tea saponins extracted, ultimately impacting the foam stability of the green biosurfactant. Comparative Example 10 used n-butanol to extract tea saponins from the crude fermentation broth; Comparative Example 11 used a method of directly fermenting camellia oleifera residue powder with Lactobacillus seed culture; Comparative Example 12 modified the subcritical circulating extraction method. These steps resulted in differences in the structure and glycosides of the finally extracted tea saponins, leading to a decreased synergistic effect between sophorolipids and tea saponins. In this invention, tea saponins should be extracted by adding camellia oleifera residue powder after further fermentation of the Lactobacillus seed culture, and the crude fermentation broth containing tea saponins is preferably extracted using subcritical fluid extraction, with methanol and / or ethanol being the preferred extractant.Comparative Examples 13 and 14 used commercially available sophorolipids or tea saponins to form green biosurfactants. The preparation methods and final products of the commercially available products are very different from the sophorolipids or tea saponins of this invention, which reduces the synergistic effect between sophorolipids and tea saponins, resulting in poor foam stability of the final product.

[0168] Test Example 2: Oil Control Effect Test Test Principle: The secretory activity of sebaceous glands is mainly regulated by androgens, and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is the most potent androgen. It strongly stimulates sebaceous gland cells to synthesize lipids and increases sebum secretion. DHT is produced from testosterone under the catalysis of 5α-reductase. The activity of 5α-reductase directly determines the local concentration of DHT, thus determining the degree of sebum secretion. Therefore, the oil-controlling potential of a test sample can be evaluated by directly detecting its inhibitory effect on 5α-reductase activity.

[0169] Test samples: Green biosurfactants from Examples 1-10 and Comparative Examples 1-14 were prepared into 1% solutions using 0.1M PBS buffer.

[0170] Test Procedure: Prepare NADPH working solution using 0.1M PBS buffer. Dilute the NADPH working solution to a series of concentration gradients and measure their OD values ​​at 340 nm to plot a standard curve. In a 96-well plate, add 0.1M PBS buffer sequentially to the blank control group, control group, sample group, and positive control group. Then add 5α-reductase working solution (2 mg / mL male SD rat liver microsomes) to the negative control group, sample group, and positive control group. Add an equal volume of 0.1M PBS buffer to the blank control group. After preheating at 37℃, add NADPH working solution, testosterone working solution, and an equal volume of solvent as the sample group to initiate the reaction in the control group. Add NADPH working solution, testosterone working solution, and sample solution to the sample group to initiate the reaction. Add NADPH working solution, testosterone working solution, and finasteride solution (10 μM) to the positive control group to initiate the reaction. After mixing, measure the OD value at 340 nm for each group. Incubate the 96-well plate at 37℃ in the dark for 1.5 hours, then measure the OD value at 340 nm again and record the relevant data. The change in OD value (ΔOD) for each group was calculated, and the ΔOD was converted into the change in NADPH content (ΔNADPH) using the NADPH standard curve, thereby calculating the inhibition rate of 5α-reductase. Each sample was tested three times, and the average value of the results was taken.

[0171] 5α-Reductase inhibition rate (%) = [1 - (ΔNADPH sample group / Positive control group - ΔNADPH control group) / (ΔNADPH blank control group – ΔNADPH control group)] × 100% The test results are shown in Table 3 below: Table 3

[0172] Test results show that the green biosurfactant of the present invention can effectively inhibit the activity of 5α-reductase, thereby weakening the secretion of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and achieving the effect of controlling sebum secretion. Specifically, the oil-controlling effect of Examples 1-10 is better than that of Comparative Examples 1-3, indicating that there is a synergistic effect between sophorolipids and tea saponins in the present invention. The absence of either component, or the use of rhamnolipin (which has a similar effect to sophorolipids) as a component, results in a poorer oil-controlling effect of the green biosurfactant. The oil-controlling effect of Examples 1-10 is better than that of Comparative Examples 4-6, indicating that the sophorolipid preparation process has a significant impact on the final oil-controlling effect of the green biosurfactant. Comparative Examples 4 and 5 replaced the fermented oil of *Candida baccata*, and Comparative Example 6 changed the post-purification method of sophorolipids. These steps all change the proportion of various sophorolipids in the sophorolipid, thereby altering the synergistic effect between sophorolipids and tea saponins. In this invention, the carbon source used for fermenting sophorolipids is preferably rapeseed oil and / or sunflower seed oil, and the purification step is preferably a purification step involving sequential anion exchange resin, cation exchange resin, and macroporous adsorption resin. The oil-controlling effect of Examples 1-10 is better than that of Comparative Examples 7-9, indicating that the bacterial strain used for extracting tea saponins has a significant impact on the oil-controlling effect of the final green biosurfactant. This invention replaces the bacterial strain used for extracting tea saponins with similar strains such as *Lactobacillus fermentum* and / or *Lactobacillus casei*. Different bacterial strains result in different metabolic products, leading to differences in the structure of the final purified tea saponins. This weakens the synergistic effect between sophorolipids and tea saponins, thus reducing the oil-controlling effect of the green biosurfactant. The oil-controlling effect of Examples 1-10 is better than that of Comparative Examples 10-12, indicating that the fermentation method, the purification steps of tea saponins, and the solvent used in subcritical cycle extraction all affect the oil-controlling effect of the green biosurfactant. Comparative Example 10 used n-butanol to extract tea saponins from the crude fermentation broth; Comparative Example 11 used Lactobacillus fermentation seed liquid to directly ferment Camellia oleifera residue powder; Comparative Example 12 changed the subcritical circulating extraction method. These steps resulted in differences in the structure and glycosides of the finally extracted tea saponins, leading to a poorer synergistic effect between sophorolipids and tea saponins. In this invention, tea saponins should be extracted by adding Camellia oleifera residue powder after further fermentation of Lactobacillus fermentation seed liquid, and the crude fermentation broth containing tea saponins is preferably extracted by subcritical fluid extraction, with methanol and / or ethanol being the preferred extractant. The oil control effect of Examples 1-10 is better than that of Comparative Examples 13 and 14, indicating that the synergistic effect between commercially available sophorolipids or tea saponins and the tea saponins and sophorolipids of this invention is poor, resulting in a poorer oil control effect in the final product.

[0173] Test Example 3: Dandruff Removal Effect Test Test Principle: Malassezia is a resident fungus on the human scalp. It feeds on triglycerides in sebum and breaks down lipids using lipases (such as LIP1) to produce free fatty acids (such as oleic acid). When the scalp's sebaceous glands are overactive, producing large amounts of sebum (mainly composed of triglycerides, free fatty acids, squalene, etc.), Malassezia will overproduce. Simultaneously, Malassezia uses triglycerides in sebum as a nutrient source, breaking down lipids using lipases (such as LIP1) to produce free fatty acids (such as oleic acid). These fatty acids damage the scalp's barrier function, triggering an inflammatory response, stimulating excessive proliferation of keratinocytes, and causing a large amount of immature keratinocytes to shed, forming dandruff. This can be simply summarized as: excessive sebum on the scalp → excessive proliferation of Malassezia → decomposition of sebum to produce irritating oleic acid → scalp inflammation and stratum corneum dysfunction → dandruff formation. Therefore, inhibiting the excessive proliferation of Malassezia can effectively reduce dandruff production, thereby achieving a dandruff-removing effect.

[0174] Test samples: Green biosurfactants of Examples 1-10 and Comparative Examples 1-14 were prepared into solutions with a mass concentration of 2% using deionized water.

[0175] Test procedure: The Malassezia inhibition rate test was conducted according to the procedure in QBT2738-2012(7.3) "Evaluation method for antibacterial and bacteriostatic effects of daily chemical products". The Malassezia used was ATCC44344.

[0176] The test results are shown in Table 4 below: Table 4

[0177] Test results show that the green biosurfactants of the present invention have a good inhibitory effect on Malassezia, thus exhibiting potential anti-dandruff efficacy. Specifically, Examples 1-10 show better inhibitory effects on Malassezia than Comparative Examples 1-3, indicating a synergistic effect between sophorolipids and tea saponins in this invention. The absence of either component, or the use of rhamnolipin (which has similar efficacy to sophorolipids) as a component, results in poorer inhibitory effects of the green biosurfactants on Malassezia. Examples 1-10 also show better inhibitory effects on Malassezia than Comparative Examples 4-6, indicating that the sophorolipid preparation process significantly affects the final inhibitory effect of the green biosurfactants on Malassezia. Comparative Examples 4 and 5 replaced the fermented oil of *Candida albicans* from bumblebees, and Comparative Example 6 changed the post-purification method of sophorolipids. These steps all alter the proportions of various sophorolipids in the sophorolipid, thereby changing the synergistic effect between sophorolipids and tea saponins. In this invention, the carbon source used for fermenting sophorolipids is preferably rapeseed oil and / or sunflower oil, and the purification step is preferably a purification step involving sequential anion exchange resin, cation exchange resin, and macroporous adsorption resin. The inhibitory effect of Examples 1-10 on Malassezia is better than that of Comparative Examples 7-9, indicating that the bacterial strain used for extracting tea saponins has a significant impact on the oil-controlling effect of the final green biosurfactant. In this invention, the bacterial strain used for extracting tea saponins is replaced from *Lactobacillus fermentum* with similar strains such as *Lactobacillus plantarum* and / or *Lactobacillus casei*. Different bacterial strains result in different metabolic products, leading to differences in the structure of the final purified tea saponins. This weakens the synergistic effect between sophorolipids and tea saponins, thus reducing the inhibitory effect of the green biosurfactant on Malassezia. The inhibitory effect of Examples 1-10 on Malassezia is better than that of Comparative Examples 10-12, indicating that the fermentation method, the purification steps of tea saponins, and the solvent used in subcritical circulating extraction all affect the oil-controlling effect of the green biosurfactant on Malassezia. Comparative Example 10 used n-butanol to extract tea saponins from the crude fermentation broth; Comparative Example 11 used a method of directly fermenting camellia oleifera residue powder with Lactobacillus fermentation seed liquid; Comparative Example 12 changed the subcritical circulating extraction method. These steps resulted in differences in the structure and glycosides of the finally extracted tea saponins, leading to a poorer synergistic effect between sophorolipids and tea saponins. In this invention, tea saponins should be extracted by adding camellia oleifera residue powder after further fermentation of Lactobacillus fermentation seed liquid, and the crude fermentation broth containing tea saponins is preferably extracted by subcritical fluid extraction, with methanol and / or ethanol being the preferred extractant. The inhibitory effect of Examples 1-10 on Malassezia is better than that of Comparative Examples 13 and 14, indicating that the synergistic effect of commercially available sophorolipids or tea saponins with the tea saponins and sophorolipids of this invention is poor, resulting in a poor inhibitory effect of the final product on Malassezia.
