Engineering College, Sivakasi-626140, Tamilnadu, India > Research Paper 2021 10 9 2022 10 18 Surfactant mixtures with cleaning properties make up bio-detergents. Surfactant agents are chemicals like detergents and soaps. Crude oil, which is a finite fossil fuel with a finite supply, is used to make these compounds. To deal with these issue, bio detergents were prepared by using natural oils. Mahua oil extracted from Madhuca longifolia seeds are the potential surfactants and they were rich in fatty acids used for the preparation of bio detergents. The combination of plant M. longifolia seed oil and Ocimum basilicum leaves allowed us to enhance the wash performance. This study found that mahua oil has a promising application, particularly in the soap industry. Copyright@ International Science Community Association
