[more ▼] The foaming properties of surfactin, a natural cyclic lipoheptapeptide from Bacillus subtilis, were investigated in comparison and in association with those of bovine serum albumin (BSA). An apparatus combining bubbling, optical and conductimetric methods was used to study continuously foam formation and stability in terms of the quantity and density of foam. The increase in surfactin concentration from 0.05 to 0.2 mg/ml had little effect on its foaming capacity, measured by the bubbling time to produce the required foam volume, but improved the foam maximum density significantly. Surfactin produced foam with higher maximum density and stability, and forms more regular and smaller bubbles than BSA. In addition, a synergistic effect was observed on the stability of liquid in foam prepared with a mixture of 50:50 surfactin/BSA. The liquid half-life of BSA foam was enhanced up to 40% when surfactin was added to the solution.

[more ▼] Surface-active properties including dynamic adsorption, monolayer stability, micelle forming capacity, and foaming aptitudes of surfactin-C-15/iturin A-C-15 mixtures were studied. Surfactin-C-15 and iturin A-C-15 molecules interact in synergism on the most surface-active properties evaluated at 20 degrees C at the air-water interface and in aqueous solution (pH 8.0). The synergism is positive on the adsorption effect, monolayer stability, foam density, and liquid stability in foam, whereas it is negative on the adsorption rate. No synergism occurs an micelle forming capacity, but surfactin-C-15 and iturin A-C-15 form mixed micelles when the solution contains a low proportion of surfactin-C-15.ses the synergistic effect is maximum when surfactin-C-15 and iturin A-C-15 molecules are mixed in a 2:3 ratio. This is attributed to the surfactin/iturin A complex formation resulting from specific interactions among two surfactin-C-15 molecules and three iturin A-C-15 molecules. A model of such a complex formation is proposed.

[more ▼] Foaming properties of surfactin were investigated and compared to those of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and bovine serum albumin (BSA). Foams were formed by a bubbling technique. Evolution of the foam volume and the liquid in the foam was monitored with optical and conductimetric methods to characterize foam formation and stability. Excellent foaming properties of surfactin were shown by its higher ability to form and stabilize the foam at a concentration as low as 0.05 mg/mL, in comparison with SDS and BSA. Surfactin produced a foam with intermediate maximum density and stabilized the liquid in foam, as well as BSA.

[more ▼] Bacillus subtilis produces three types of lipopeptides: Iturins, Fengycins, and Surfactins. These amphiphilic molecules influence the volumetric oxygen transfer (K(L)a) like chemical surfactant. K(L)a values were from two- to fivefold lower when both Iturin A and Surfactin S1 were coproduced, and from 0.57- to 0.8-fold lower when only Iturin A was produced. The addition of an oxygen vector (n-Dodecane) during fermentation increased K(L)a values (7.5-fold) and biomass production (twofold), and decreased Iturin A and Surfactin S1 production. However, at high stirring conditions and in the presence of n-Dodecane, Iturin A production was improved.

[more ▼] The quasi-static mode of the drop volume technique has been applied for determining the equilibrium surface tension-concentration (σe-c) curves of ionic (SDS, CTAB) zwitterionic (CHAPS), and nonionic (Triton X-100) surfactants. The experimental values have been fitted in two parts by the best polynomial and straight-line equations. Determination coefficients (R2) higher than 0.98 were achieved for all σe-c curves. The critical micelle concentration (CMC) and surface tension at the CMC have been calculated at the intersection point of the two fitted curves. The results conform with those found in the literature. The polynomial equation derivative at the CMC was used in the Gibbs equation to calculate the maximum surface excess concentration and the corresponding molecular area. The space required per molecule under saturation conditions is in agreement with the surfactant structures. A comparison with the Wilhelmy-plate method was also made. It is concluded that the quasi-static drop volume method provides accurate results and presents many practical advantages.

[more ▼] Isoamyl acetate synthesis was chosen as a model to improve flavour acetate yields by optimising the enzymatic reaction. Alcohol:acid molar ratio, temperature, water content and amount of enzyme effects were analyzed. The optimum values were respectively 4, 45 degrees C, 0,1% (w/v) and 0,5 g. In these conditions, the synthesis yield reached 80% after 24 h of reaction and was found 15 times greater than those already reported in the literature.
