Abstract
The present invention provides modified sophorolipids of formula (I) that are more pH-and temperature-stable than its lactonic counterparts. Moreover, the compound has reduced HLB parameters, as well as improved wetting and solubilization parameters, water-in-oil emulsification ability, surface tension-lowering activity, and/or antimicrobial activity compared to their acidic or even lactonic counterparts.
