ABSTRACT:
Surfactant-containing compositions are described which include a protein component that has the effect of improving the surface-active properties of the surfactants contained in the compositions. The surfactant-containing compositions having the protein component demonstrate significantly lower critical micelle concentrations (CMC) than do comparable compositions having no protein component. In addition, the surfactant-containing compositions having the protein component have the effect of converting greasy waste contaminants to surface active materials.
