Key Points

The study aims to explore a sustainable method for producing N-acyl amino acid surfactants via enzymatic acylation of glycine.
Utilized an enzymatic approach for the acylation of glycine.
Evaluated the efficiency of the method in producing surfactants.
Assessed the environmental impact compared to traditional synthesis methods.
The enzymatic method produced N-acyl amino acids effectively.
This approach shows a reduced environmental footprint compared to conventional surfactant synthesis.
Findings suggest that this green route could meet increasing demands for surfactants.

Implication

Research demonstrates a green method for producing surfactants using enzymatic acylation of glycine.

Abstract

Population and industrial growth are driving demand for surfactants, as they are widely used in various areas of human activity. The most commonly used compounds in personal care products -sodium...
