Product Information
Name:Spiculisporic acid
Synonyms:
- 4,5-Dicarboxy-4-pentadecanolide
Brand:Biosynth
Description:Spiculisporic acid is a biosurfactant, which is a surface-active compound, produced by certain fungi, notably those from the genus Penicillium. It is derived from microbial fermentation processes, making it a natural and environmentally friendly alternative to synthetic surfactants. Spiculisporic acid functions through the formation of micelles, which reduce surface and interfacial tension in aqueous solutions. This action enhances the solubility, emulsification, and dispersion of hydrophobic compounds in water, effectively altering interactions at liquid interfaces.
