[Subject Matter] New Materials [Docket] 229.13 [Title] FERMENTATIVE PRODUCTION OF SOPHOROLOIDS FROM SOYBEAN AND OTHER VEGETABLE OILS [Description] 
Sophorolipids are surfactants and can be used in detergents in place of petroleum derived surfactants. This invention involves producing open chain sophorolipids by fermentation with Candida sp. NRRL Y-27208 or C. riodocensis. Dimers and trimers of sophorolids are also produced. The sophorolipids may be subsequently recovered from the fermantation medium.
