Rhamnolipids are a type of mixture. Different numbers of sugar units, such as rhamnomonose and rhamnobiose, and different chain lengths of fatty acids forming esters will form rhamnolipids with different structures. This product is a mixture with no specific structural formulas provided, but it has a purity of about 95%, with the majority being di-rhamnolipid rather than mono-rhamnolipid.

General description
Rhamnolipid biosurfactants are glycolipids containing L-rhamnose and ß-hydroxyl fatty acids, with amphiphilic properties (both hydrophilic and hydrophobic). This rhamnolipid product has been purified from Pseudomonas aeruginosa and contains a mixture of rhamnolipids with fatty acids of varying tail length. They are highly biodegradable, non-toxic, and renewable. Functional roles include bioactive, surfactant and emulsifier. Rhamnolipids provide good detergency/foaming/wetting, stable microemulsion formation, and solubility under high alkalinity. They are mild with skin-friendly attributes. Surfactant and emulsion properties of rhamnolipids include reducing the surface tension of water to 25 to 40 mN/m, having a CMC of 5-380 mg/L, and decreasing the interfacial tension of oil and water to <1 dyne/cm. Rhamnolipid biosurfactants are superior to synthetic surfactants for several reasons: their CMC is 10-100 times lower than that of traditional chemical surfactants (meaning much less material is required to achieve reductions in surface tension/interfacial tension); they are easily biodegradable with very low toxicity (having higher EC50 values); they are not as affected by temperature, pH and salinity; and they are sustainably produced.

Can you clarify what the 90% or 95% precent purity means? Can you clarify (quantify) what does “Di-Rhamnolipid dominant” means? What is the ratio between di and mono Rhamnolipid?
