P1-Factor Biomass is a naturally occuring surfactant. Trichoderma is an important term to understand here / ..."Recent advances in biological sciences stress on tremendous potential for application of natural products, which involves the use of simple sugars and other renewable substrates as a synthetic feedstock instead of petroleum. Another factor for the interest in biotechnology is the prediction of sales for biotechnology by-products, which is expected to be more than US$500 billion at a rate of 3-5% annually.
2-5 All these concerns have put impetus for more serious consideration of biological surfactants (Biosurfactants, a term derived from biologically active surface active compounds) as possible alternatives to existing products. The new world order and environmental concern have widened the role of biosurfactants with possible applications in agriculture, in detergency and in public health, in waste utilization, in bioremediation and."
Canada contains 45% of the world's inventoried P1-Factor resources - in excess of 3-trillion tons.
