Compositions for providing stability to RNA may include a primary surfactant, and a metal-ion sequestrant. The primary surfactant may be a nonionic surfactant. The composition may be in a soluble liquid concentrate form and may be sufficient to provide shelf stability to RNA for one year at room temperature. Compositions for delivering RNA to a pest via exogenous, foliar application of the composition to a plant may comprise RNA; a primary surfactant; and a metal-ion sequestrant.

The present invention is directed to biodegradable cleaning compositions, in particular hard surface cleaning compositions, and their use. The compositions according to the invention comprise one or more biosurfactants(s), one or more sorbitan ester(s) and one or more further surfactant(s), which is/are neither a biosurfactant nor a sorbitan ester.

The invention discloses synergistic combinations of surfactant blends and cleaning compositions employing the same. In certain embodiments a surfactant system is disclosed which includes an extended anionic surfactant with novel co-surfactants including one or more of an alkyl glycerol ether, an ethoxylated alkyl glycerol ether, an alcohol ethoxylate and/or a gemini surfactant. This system forms emulsions with, and can remove greasy and oily stains, even those comprised of non-trans fats. The compositions may be used alone, as a pre-spotter or other pre-treatment or as a part of a soft surface or hard surface cleaning composition.

A liquid hand dishwashing cleaning composition has a surfactant system. The surfactant system has an anionic surfactant and a nonionic surfactant package. The weight ratio of the nonionic surfactant to the anionic surfactant is greater than or equal to 1:1. The nonionic surfactant package has a mixture of a first nonionic surfactant and a second nonionic surfactant, wherein the first nonionic surfactant includes an alkyl polyglucoside surfactant. The surfactant system further includes a co-surfactant selected from the group consisting of amphoteric surfactant, zwitterionic surfactant, and mixtures thereof. The weight ratio of the anionic surfactant to the co-surfactant is from 1.0:1 to 2.4:1. The weight ratio of the first nonionic surfactant to the second nonionic surfactant is from 3:1 to 1:3.
