Characteristics of Glycolipids
Glycolipid is a large class of organic compounds produced by the reaction of sugar with fatty acids. It is also a class of physiologically important substances that are widely found in nature and are responsible for the transport of substances and energy in cell membranes. At the same time, this kind of material also has an amphiphilic structure, which is a class of non-toxic, tasteless, easy to biodegradation of the important non-ionic biosurfactant. Glycolipid can be used as both an oil-in-water emulsifier and a water-in-oil emulsifier with excellent emulsification, decontamination, diffusion, foaming, viscosity adjustment, insecticide, fungicide, aging prevention, antioxidant, etc. It is widely used in pharmacy, decorative, food, and chemical industries. It can be decomposed into glucose and fatty acid in the human body, and then digested and absorbed by the human body as nutrients. Glycolipid has an important value as a biofunctional molecule and chemical raw material.

Our Technologies
Glycolipids have an irreplaceable place in human life. At CD BioGlyco, we offer comprehensive Technologies for Glycolipid Manufacture, including Rhamnolipid and Sophorolipid manufacture. Our technologies include, but are not limited to, the following:
The steps of fermentation production: culture and fermentation, separation and extraction, and product purification. For the separation and purification of glycolipids, we offer solvent extraction, HPLC, recrystallization, and gravity separation.
Solvent method: organic solvents that can dissolve both sugar and grease.
Microemulsification method, solvent-free method: excellent characteristics of non-toxicity.
The enzymes used by CD BioGlyco are mainly hydrolytic enzymes, including lipases and proteases. We improve the efficiency of the enzymatic reaction by selecting enzymes and solvents, enhancing the solubility of the substrate, modifying the structure of the substrate, and optimizing the environment of the system to produce glycolipids with better properties.
