Glycolipids, being low toxicity, biodegradable and showing surface activity, are a candidate for an alternative surfactant known as biosurfactant. In this study, two Guerbet branched chain glycolipids namely 2-hexyl-decyl-β-D-glucoside (β-Glc-C10C6) and 2-hexyl-decyl-β-D-maltoside (β-Mal-C10C6) were...
