  • Publication number: 20230232836
    Abstract: This disclosure describes biological pesticides that include biological mannosylerythritol lipids (MELs), and their application. Provided MEL-based pesticides are microbially produced by through microbial (fungal) fermentation of plant-based derivatives or plant-derived materials as a substrate. The biologically active components are obtained from multiple stage bio-processes including transformation, biochemical reaction, extraction, and other processing of raw materials. The synthesis, separation, concentration, purification, preparation of biological pesticides, and their application as a crop pathology treatment, are described. These biological pesticides may be used disease prevention and control for crops and other plants.

  • Publication number: 20220145215
    Abstract: Surfactant-containing compositions are described which include a protein component that has the effect of improving the surface-active properties of the surfactants contained in the compositions. The surfactant-containing compositions having the protein component demonstrate significantly lower critical micelle concentrations (CMC), reduced surface tensions, and reduced interfacial tensions than do comparable compositions having no protein component. In addition, the surfactant-containing compositions having the protein component has the effect of converting greasy waste contaminants to surface active materials.

  • Patent number: 8894861
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods of removing oil from an aqueous surface, comprising: surrounding an oil spot on the aqueous surface with an oil-absorbing material; and introducing a solution comprising a surfactant to the oil spot. Also disclosed are the above methods where the oil is not mechanically directed towards the oil-absorbing material, or where the oil-absorbing material is not mechanically directed towards the oil. Also disclosed are the above methods further comprising introducing a solution comprising a protein/surfactant complex to the oil spot, where the protein/surfactant complex comprises a protein component obtained from the fermentation of yeast, comprising a mixture of multiple intracellular proteins, at least a portion of the mixture including yeast polypeptides obtained from fermenting yeast and yeast stress proteins resulting from subjecting a mixture obtained from the yeast fermentation to stress.
