After 100 cleaning cycles were completed, the Test Monitor was removed from the Sheen tester, rinsed with tap water, and allowed to dry. The test was repeated several times to provide 5 replicates for each tested composition.
- the treated Test Monitors were visually evaluated by five panelists who were asked to rate the cleaning efficacy achieved by each of the compositions. Panellists ranked the cleaning efficacy on a scale from 0 to 10, with 0 representing no observed cleaning and 10 representing a complete removal of the stain. For comparative purposes, each of the panellists was provided with a new, soiled Test Monitor that represented no cleaning as well as with a fully cleaned Test Monitor that represented the score of 10. Additionally, the panellists were provided with the evaluation template according to IKW Test Protocol to enable more accurate assessment of cleanness.

- A fermentation with a Pseudomonas putida strain pBBR1MCS2-Plac-rhlABC-T-Ptac-rhlC-T comprising the rhamnolipid biosynthesis genes RhlA, RhlB and RhlC, the preparation of which is described in
US2014296168 , was carried out. The preculture in a shake flask was carried out as described inWO2012013554A1 . For the main culture, a mineral medium (M9) was likewise employed. The fermentation was conducted in a 2 litre fermenter in a carbon-limited manner via a glucose feed input. The glucose feed input takes place by reference to the dissolved oxygen signal. The dissolved oxygen was regulated at 20% saturation via the stirrer speed. The pH is regulated to 7 via a pH electrode and addition of 2M sulphuric acid or a 20% by weight ammonia solution . To prevent excessive foaming of the fermentation broth, the defoamer DOW Corning 1500 was added as required. The fermentation was conducted over 4 days to a dry biomass of 15 g/l. The rhamnolipid concentration was determined by HPLC and was 9.8 g/l. After separating off the cells by means of centrifugation at 10 000 g, the fermentation broth was adjusted to a pH of 3.1 by adding concentrated H2SO4. Renewed centrifugation at 500 g gave a pasty solid concentrate with a RL fraction of 45% by weight and with a viscosity of > 10 000 mPas. With continuous stirring, a 50% strength by weight aqueous KOH solution was added to the pasty suspension of the concentrated rhamnolipid precipitate and a pH of 6 was established. The paste-like mass liquefied at this point with an accompanying sharp drop in viscosity. The suspension became a clear solution. By adding water, the solution was adjusted to an active content of 35% by weight. The rhamnolipid purity was > 90% by weight, based on the dry mass. - Rhamnolipid species detected by means of HPLC were:
RL total [%] (HPLC) 91 diRL-C8C10 13.9 monoRL-C8C10 0.51 diRL-C10C10 61.4 monoRL -C10C10 1.4 diRL-C10C12:1 5.9 diRL-C10C12 5.5 other RL 2.2 - In the examples below this composition was used as di-rhamnolipids.
- The 35% by weight rhamnolipid solution prepared as described above was diluted to 1 % by adding water. Two litres of this solution were heated to 50°C. With gentle stirring, 200 units of a thermostable rhamnosidase (ThermoActiveTM Rhamnosidase A, Prokazyme) were added and the reaction was carried out overnight. After 20 h, a sample of the solution was analysed by means of HPLC. The di-rhamnolipid had been completely converted to mono-rhamnolipid and rhamnose. Then, the enzyme was deactivated for one hour at 80°C. The entire mixture was then freeze-dried. The freeze-dried product was adjusted to a mono-rhamnolipid active content of 35% by weight by adding water.
- In the examples below this composition was used as mono-rhamnolipids.
- The following formulations were prepared with the numbers given being weight percentages of active matter, Benchmark 1 as well as Benchmark 2 and Benchmark 3, (internal available detergents) being not according to the invention, Benchmark 1 was purchased from supermarket
- For the purpose of conducting tests, exemplary formulations (Detergent 1 and Benchmark 2 and 3) were prepared according to the following protocol. Initially, water and sodium hydroxide required for saponification of fatty acids were introduced into a glass beaker of suitable size. The mixture was heat up to 60°C under vigorous stirring using magnetic stirrer. Subsequently, fatty acids were preconditioned to temperature 50°C and slowly added into the sodium hydroxide solution. After the full portion of fatty acid was added into water, the solution was stirred for one hour at temperature between 65 and 80°C followed by cooling for 30 minutes to room temperature. Afterwards, further constituents (except enzyme cocktail) were added at room temperature and under vigorous stirring. The ingredients were added in no specific or uniform sequence as the order of addition to the solution was not critical. Finally, any remaining amount of water was introduced to ensure desired concentration of ingredients. All ingredients were mixed using a magnetic stirrer and pH of the solution was adjusted to 8.0 by addition of sodium hydroxide. Finally, enzyme cocktail was added in the solution under vigorous stirring. The mixture was then stirred for 5 minutes to ensure a homogenous solution. The exemplary compositions were easily pourable and stable at room temperature for extended period.

This test has been done at 30°C. The protocol that has been followed for this comparison is the A.I.S.E. test published on its website and named "Minimum protocol for comparative detergent tests".
- A programmable Miele electronic household washing machine has been used for the development of this test. Fuzzy logic type control has been disabled. The selected program for performance test has been Cotton, 30°C and 1200rpm for the centrifugation process.
- The 3kg of standardized cotton load was previously washed at 60°C with ECE2 detergent without bleach.
- The dosage of the samples was 50mL for each formulation and following the commercial instructions of benchmarks products. The water used had a water hardness of 14 ° deutsche Haerte.

- Subsequently, cleaning performance of Detergent 1 was evaluated against the Benchmark formulations 1 and 2. The procedure used for the evaluating the cleaning performance is described below:
The evaluation of stain removal and whiteness degree were carried out using the Y values of the colour coordinate measurements of Y, x, y, with a light source D65 and with a UV filter that cuts at 420nm in a spectrophotometer. Stains were measured unfolded, 2 measurements per stain (in the center of the circular area, or closest homogenous area). Measurements were taken on each stain before wash (to verify quality of stains) and after the wash and to evaluate standard deviations and are reported. - Stain removal results are expressed as the mean of value Y between two replicates and its standard deviation. The better the soil removal, the larger the Y value.
- Whiteness degree has been evaluated by Y-value in four standard textiles (Polyamide, Polyester, Polyester:Cotton and Cotton) through 6 consecutive washes. Also here: The better the soil removal, the higher the Y value.
- A set of 14 current A.I.S.E. stains set for each replicate was used (purchased form CFT, MON-AISE A+B). The different stains are:

Detergent 1 achieved an average of 53,78 % stain removal (for the 8 additional fatty stains) and 64.1 % stain removal (for the 14 AISE stains) compared to the two benchmarks: Benchmark 1: 47,78 % stain removal (for the 8 additional fatty stains) and 59,95 % stain removal (for the 14 AISE stains); Benchmark 2: 49,95 % stain removal (for the 8 additional fatty stains) and 62,89 % stain removal (for the 14 AISE stains). Therefor it becomes evident that mono-rhamnolipids containing detergent provides surprisingly superior performance. Especially in the case of solid fatty stains the object of invention the is showing better stain removal performance in laundry cleaning application than traditional surfactants and even better than the di-rhamnolipid based detergents (Benchmark 2).
- Performance results in Whiteness Degree:

Especially in the case of polyester fabrics the performance is even better than the Benchmark 2, containing the di-rhamnolipid.
- This example demonstrates perceived rinsability of surfactants and surfactant-based formulations from skin, simulating rinsing hands after either cleaning hands or washing fabric or dishes.
- Perceived rinsability of Detergent 1 was tested and evaluated against Benchmark 1 and Benchmark 2 as well as Benchmark 3,
- The procedure used for the evaluating perceived rinsability from skin is described in the following test protocol based on the internal test methodology:
12.5 g of tested formulation (either Test formulation Detergent 1 or Benchmark Formulations 1 - 3) were mixed with 2.5 L of tap water that was pre-heated to temperature of 30°C and placed inside a basin of minimum volume equal to 5 L. Subsequently, trained panellists were asked to evaluate perceived rinsability of the formulation. For this reason, the panellist immersed hands in the aqueous solution prepared according to the above-described method and simulated moves associated with washing hands for 30 seconds. Subsequently, the panellist was asked to rinse hands under tap water at temperature of 30°C. This step was performed under constant flow of water and above a basin used to collect all water used for the rinse. Once the panellist communicated that there is no perceived need to continue rinse, water flow was stopped, and the weight of water used for the rinse was measured. Test was performed separately with 10 different panellists for each of the tested formulations. It was required that one panellist was testing only one formulation per day and the order of tested formulations for each of the panellist was randomized. The results were evaluated, and average amount of water used in the rinse step is described below. - Average amount of water required for rinsing-off hands immersed in tested formulations as perceived by the panellists:
Benchmark formulation 1 Benchmark formulation 2 Benchmark formulation 3 Detergent 1 Average amount of water required for rinse / mL 318 147 283 129 - As is readily evident from the results the composition according to the instant invention surprisingly requires substantially less water to be rinsed-off, as perceived by trained panellists participating in the experiment. Test formulation Detergent 1 requires on average 129 mL of water for the rinse step, that is substantially less than 283 mL of water required to rinse off hands after immersing them in the solution of Benchmark formulation 3 that contains sodium laureth sulfate. The amount of water used for rinsing of solution of Test formulation Detergent 1 is also substantially lower than the average value of 318 mL needed in the test with a commercially available laundry detergent described as Benchmark formulation 1.
- Finally, Test formulation 1 required on average less water for the rinse step than Di-rhamnolipid-based Benchmark formulation 2 (147 mL on average). Therefore, it becomes evident that mono-rhamnolipid-containing formulation unexpectedly provides better perceived rinsability from skin than formulation based on commonly used commercially available surfactants.
- Consequently, this means that the use of the composition of the instant invention leads to a decrease of water use in the rinsing step of up to 60 %
- This example demonstrates the cleaning effect of mono-rhamnolipids when used in formulations of household cleaners on hard surfaces.
- Exemplary formulations described in the table below were prepared according to the following protocol. Initially, a measured amount of water was introduced into a glass beaker of a suitable size. Subsequently, further constituents were added at room temperature and under vigorous stirring. The ingredients were added in no specific or uniform sequence as the order of addition to the solution was not critical. Finally, any remaining amount of water was introduced to ensure desired concentration of ingredients. All ingredients were mixed using a magnetic stirrer and pH of the solution was adjusted to 8.7 by addition of sodium carbonate. The mixture was then stirred for 5 minutes to ensure a homogenous solution. The exemplary compositions were easily pourable and stable at room temperature for extended period.
- According to the above-described method, two formulations were prepared:
HSC Benchmark formulation 1, that contained the di-rhamnolipids described above as the main active ingredient. It was subsequently used as a control formulation. - HSC Test formulation 1, that contained the mono-rhamnolipids described above as the main active ingredient.
- Compositions of HSC Benchmark formulation 1 and HSC Test formulation 1 evaluated in cleaning performance tests:
HSC Benchmark formulation 1 /% HSC Test formulation 1 /% di-rhamnolipids 1.00 mono-rhamnolipids 1.00 Sodium citrate 0.7 0.7 Sodium carbonate ~0.2 (to achieve pH 8.7) ~0.2 (to achieve pH 8.7) Water to 100 to 100 - Subsequently, cleaning performance of HSC Test formulation 1 was evaluated against the HSC Benchmark formulation 1. The procedure used for the evaluating the cleaning performance is described in the following test protocol.
- Cleaning performance test was conducted according to the internal test methodology, which was adapted from the recommendation of German Cosmetic, Toiletry, Perfumery and Detergent Association (IKW): "IKW Recommendation for the Quality Assessment of the Product Performance of All-Purpose Cleaners 2014" (IKW Test Protocol). The principle of the test was to evaluate the cleaning power of tested formulations by assessing their efficacy in removal of stubborn soil deposited on melamine tiles. White, melamine tiles covered with black, stubborn soil composed of mixture of fat, clay, and carbon black (here called Test Monitors) were purchased from Center for Testmaterials B.V. (available under the name DM-40 Tile). To ensure high reproducibility of the results, all Test Monitors belonged to the same production batch and were conditioned prior to use for 24 hours at 20°C inside a climatic chamber.
- To evaluate cleaning performance of the prepared formulations, Test Monitors were placed in a TQC Sheen washability tester (model AB5000) and locked in a position. One Test Monitor was placed in the Washability Tester at the time, but it was ensured that for each of the cleaning formulations, the test was conducted at least once at each of the four tracks of the Washability Tester. Subsequently, dry, 9 cm by 4.5 cm sponges were first moistened with tap water, and water excess was wrung out from sponges. Thereafter, 10 g of the test solution was loaded onto the sponge and sponge was attached to the cleaning arm of the Washability Tester. Washability Tester was then actuated and controlled to provide 100 cleaning cycles (so 200 linear strokes) over the Test Monitor. The speed of the strokes for 20 cycles per minute and the test was performed at room temperature. After 100 cleaning cycles were completed, the Test Monitor was removed from the Sheen tester, rinsed with tap water, and allowed to dry. The test was repeated several times to provide 5 replicates for each tested composition.
- The treated Test Monitors were visually evaluated by five panelists who were asked to rate the cleaning efficacy achieved by each of the compositions. Panellists ranked the cleaning efficacy on a scale from 0 to 10, with 0 representing no observed cleaning and 10 representing a complete removal of the stain. For comparative purposes, each of the panellists was provided with a new, soiled Test Monitor that represented no cleaning as well as with a fully cleaned Test Monitor that represented the score of 10. Additionally, the panellists were provided with the evaluation template according to IKW Test Protocol to enable more accurate assessment of cleanness. The scores were summed and averaged for each of the tested composition and the results are reported.
- Cleaning performance results for tested compositions (average cleaning score, 0 - no cleaning, 10 - complete cleaning):
HSC Benchmark formulation 1 HSC Test formulation 1 Average cleaning score 4.1 10.0 - As is readily evident from the results reported above, the composition containing object of invention surprisingly delivers superior cleaning performance results to the benchmark. HSC Test formulation 1 achieved an average cleaning score of 10.0 that by far exceeds cleaning result of 4.1 reported for HSC Benchmark formulation 1. Therefore, it becomes evident that mono-rhamnolipid-containing formulation unexpectedly provide better cleaning performance in hard-surface cleaning application than Di-rhamnolipid-based cleaners.
- All ingredients are listed in wt.-% active matter. For highly concentrated mono-rhamnolipid compositions the freeze-dried product was incorporated into the formulations.
