The present invention provides a high-purity acid-form sophorolipid (SL)-containing composition characterized by substantially not containing acetic acid. The high-purity acid-form SL-containing composition can be produced, for example, by the following method:
(i) adjusting the pH of a partially purified acid-form SL-containing composition to an acidic range; and
(ii-a) subjecting an acidified partially purified acid-form SL-containing composition obtained in step (i) to chromatography to acquire a fraction containing an acid-form SL, or
(ii-b) leaving the acidified partially purified acid-form SL-containing composition obtained in step (i) to stand under a low-temperature condition to acquire a resulting gelled object.
本发明提供了一种高纯度酸式槐脂(SL)组合物,其特点是基本上不含
乙酸。这种高纯度酸式槐脂组合物可通过以下方法生产:
(i) 将部分纯化的含酸形式 SL 组合物的 pH 值调至酸性范围;以及
(iii-a) 将步骤(i)中获得的酸化的部分纯化的含酸型 SL 组合物进行层析,以获得含酸型 SL 的馏分,或
(ii-b) 将步骤(i)中得到的酸化的部分纯化的含酸形式 SL 的组合物在低温条件下静置,以得到胶凝物。
