리글리세린지방산에스터 비이온계면활성제는 식품 등에 오래전부터 사용해 왔으며 PEG계 비이온계면활성제의 안전성 문제에 대한 대안으로 제시되고 있다. 폴리글리세린지방산에스터 계면활성제는 친수기인 폴리글리세린과 친유기인 지방산을 결합시켜 합성된다. 친수기인 폴리글리세린은 글리세린, 글리시돌, 에피클로로히드린 등을 이용하여 중합되는 데 폴리글리세린 중합반응의 주요 이슈는 분기·환상형태가 아닌 직쇄형태의 폴리글리세린의 함량을 높이고 중합도의 분포를 좁히는 것이다. 친수기인 폴리글리세린에 지방산계 친유기를 결합시키는 방법에는 에스터화 반응 등의 화학적 합성법과 지방분해효소를 이용한 효소 합성법이 있다. 폴리글리세린지방산에스터 합성의 주요 이슈는 에스터화정도를 조절하면서 반응수율을 높이고 부반응을 억제하는 것이다.

W/O/W (water-in-oil-in-water) type multiple emulsion was applied to improve the storage stability of an antagonistic microorganism, Burkholderia gladioli. Encapsulation of microorganism into a W/O/W emulsion was conducted by using a two-step emulsification method. W/O/W emulsion was prepared by the incorporation of B. gladioli into rapeseed oil and the addition of polyglycerin polyriconolate (PGPR) and castor oil polyoxyethylene (COG 25) as the primary and secondary emulsifier, respectively. Microcrystalline cellulose was used as an emulsion stabilizer. To evaluate the usefulness of W/O/W emulsion formulation as a microbial pesticide for controlling the bacterial wilt pathogen (Ralstonia solanacearum), the storage stability and antagonistic activity of emulsion formulation were tested in vitro. The storage stability test revealed that the viability of formulated cells in emulsion was higher than that of unformulated cells in culture broth. At $4^{\circ}C$, the viabilities of formulated cells and unformulated cells at the end of 20 weeks decreased to about 2 and 5 log cycles, respectively. At $37^{\circ}C$, the viability of formulated cells decreased to only 2 log cycles at the end of storage. On the other hand, the viable cells in culture broth were not detected after 13 weeks. In activity test, formulated cells in emulsion were more effective in inhibiting the growth of pathogen than unformulated cells in culture broth. Unformulated cells completely lost their antagonistic activity during storage under similar conditions. The W/O/W multiple emulsion formulation was shown to be useful as the novel liquid formulation for biological control.
