Biogod

GODREJ INDUSTRIES LIMITED

Biogod is an amphiphilic Glycolipid molecule with a Disaccharide Sophorose as a hydrophilic part and a long chain fatty acid as hydrophobic part. Synthesized using non-pathogenic yeast fermentation process and hence an ecofriendly alternative to synthetic surfactants, SL is superior in performance on the count of better interfacial and emulsification capabilities, in a broad range of temperature/ pH/salinity. It has gained increased attention as potential bio- surfactants due to its biodegradability and low eco-toxicity. Today sophorolipids are considered promising bio-surfactants.
