采用白金板法对Surfactin的表面活性进行研究,并用浊度法和离心法对其乳化性进行研究。结果表明：Surfactin的临界胶束浓度为9.03×10-5 mol/L,可将水的表面张力由73.98 m N/m降至最低27.48 m N/m。在浓度为1×10-3~1.2×10...采用白金板法对Surfactin的表面活性进行研究,并用浊度法和离心法对其乳化性进行研究。结果表明：Surfactin的临界胶束浓度为9.03×10-5 mol/L,可将水的表面张力由73.98 m N/m降至最低27.48 m N/m。在浓度为1×10-3~1.2×10-2 mol/L的NaCl溶液中,Surfactin溶液的表面张力随盐浓度升高逐渐降低并最终稳定在34 m N/m;Surfactin在121℃处理20 min后,其表面张力仍能保持在37.10 m N/m;在pH值为2~12范围内,其表面活性稳定并良好;表明Surfactin具有较强的NaCl浓度、温度、pH值的耐受性。浊度法测得Surfactin亲水亲油平衡（hydrophile lipophilic balance,HLB）值为14,对所需HLB值为12~16的油相乳化性能良好。展开更多
