The present invention generally relates to a system and process for producing a biosurfactant, and more particularly to a system and process for producing a biosurfactant from at least one strain of Bacillus subtilis, and formulations which comprise the biosurfactant.

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 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 solid granule or granular material used for cleaning agents includes an anionic surfactant component and a molding agent. The anionic surfactant component includes an anionic sulfonate surfactant and an anionic fatty alcohol-based sulfate surfactant. Based on the total amount of the cleaning granule being 100 wt %, the combined amount of the sulfonate surfactant and the sulfate surfactant is between 15.0 wt % and 100 wt %. The amount of molding agent is 5.0 wt % or less. The ratio of the sulfonate surfactant to the sulfate surfactant is 0.20 to 0.75, inclusive. A cohesion of the solid granule is between 1000 g/mm and 4000 g/mm.

A composition that includes of detersive surfactant, external structurant or thickener, and C4-C10 alkyl branched alcohol.
