AbstractSwitching from oil‐based to bio‐based feedstocks to ensure the green transition to a sustainable and circular future is one of the most pressing challenges faced by many industries worldwide. For the cosmetics and personal and house care industries there is a strong drive to accelerate this transition from the customers that starts favoring the purchase of naturally derived and bio‐degradable products over the traditionally available products. In this work we developed a series of fully biobased macromolecules constituted of a glycerol‐based oligoester backbone. Based on the subsequent derivatization with fatty acids or peptides, the resulting products may find application as emulsifiers, wetting agents, and potential vectors for the delivery of bioactive peptides. All steps of the resulting macromolecules were conducted following the green chemistry principles with no toxic or environmentally damaging compounds that were used in the overall production process.
摘要 从以石油为基础的原料转向以生物为基础的原料,以确保向可持续和循环型未来的绿色转型,是全球许多行业面临的最紧迫挑战之一。对于化妆品和个人及家庭护理行业来说,客户开始倾向于购买天然提取和可生物降解的产品,而不是传统的产品,这有力地推动了加快这一转变的进程。在这项工作中,我们开发了一系列完全生物基的大分子,由甘油基低聚酯骨架构成。根据随后与脂肪酸或肽的衍生物化,所得产品可用作乳化剂、润湿剂和潜在的生物活性肽载体。所得大分子的所有步骤均遵循绿色化学原则,整个生产过程中未使用任何有毒或破坏环境的化合物。
