“…Furthermore, scaling up the production of biosurfactants for commercial use can also be challenging due to the need for large‐scale fermentation processes and specialized equipment. Lastly, the environmental impact of biosurfactant production can be a concern, particularly in terms of energy consumption and waste generation (Akubude et al, 2021; Debnath et al, 2022). Further research are needed to optimize the production and formulation of biosurfactants by using waste products and optimizing fermentation processes, and to evaluate their safety and efficacy under different conditions in the food processing environment.…”

Cleaning up biocontamination from surfaces is a critical aspect of maintaining a hygienic environment. Traditional cleaning methods often fall short when it comes to eliminating persistent biofilms and resilient bacteria. In recent years, alternative approaches utilizing antibiofilm enzymes, bacteriophages, essential oils (EOs), antibacterial peptides, and biosurfactants have emerged as promising strategies to combat biocontamination. This article explores the efficiency of these agents in targeting and eradicating biofilms, highlighting their mechanisms of action and potential applications. By leveraging the unique properties of these materials, we can enhance cleaning practices and improve public health outcomes by effectively eliminating biocontamination from various surfaces.

“…Biosurfactants have also been found to stimulate the biodegradation of organic compounds, commonly alkanes (Freitas et al, 2016;Sajna et al, 2015). Other advantages of biosurfactants over synthetic ones are the possibility of their production through fermentation (Rahman & Gakpe, 2008), their potential applications in environmental protection and management, crude oil recovery, as antimicrobial agents in health care and food processing industries, selectivity and specific activity at extreme temperatures, pH and salinity (Akubude et al, 2021).…”

Biosurfactants are microbially derived amphiphilic molecules that can be used as biodegradable emulsifiers in various applications. For biosurfactant production to be economically viable, inexpensive raw materials should be used. In this study, substrate optimization of biosurfactant production from Saccharomyces cerevisiae 2031 was done using molasses as an additional carbon source to glucose, and coco paring meal extract as a nitrogen source. Optimum conditions were determined as pH 5.69, 10.60% (w.v-1) molasses and 7.27% (v.v-1) coco paring meal extract using Box-Behnken design. At these conditions, the obtained responses: namely biomass concentration and % emulsification index determined with kerosene, were 6.43 g.L-1 and 82.81%, respectively. The highest emulsification activity (84.60%) was attained after 4 days of shake-flask fermentation. On the other hand, a bioreactor system observed the maximum yield for emulsification activity (93.33) after 4 days. The biosurfactant extracted was characterized by its total sugar, protein content and surface tension reduction.

“…According to Akubude et al [ 9 ], the introduction of sophorolipids in the food industry has shown beneficial effects in food processing and food products because of their positive impacts on human wellness and the natural environment [ 9 ]. They appear to be promising compounds used in substituting the usage of chemical surfactants which will cause detrimental effects on human beings and the environment [ 9 ]. Further studies show the utilization of sophorolipids in the agriculture field to enhance crop yield and to protect against plant diseases [ 10 ].…”

Sophorolipids are well-known glycolipid biosurfactants, produced mainly by non-pathogenic yeast species such as Candida bombicola with high yield. Its unique environmental compatibility and high biodegradable properties have made them a focus in the present review for their promising applications in diverse areas. This study aims to examine current research trends of sophorolipids and evaluate their applications in food and health. A literature search was conducted using different research databases including PubMed, ScienceDirect, EBSCOhost, and Wiley Online Library to identify studies on the fundamental mechanisms of sophorolipids and their applications in food and health. Studies have shown that various structural forms of sophorolipids exhibit different biological and physicochemical properties. Sophorolipids represent one of the most attractive biosurfactants in the industry due to their antimicrobial action against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative microorganisms for applications in food and health sectors. In this review, we have provided an overview on the fundamental properties of sophorolipids and detailed analysis of their applications in diverse areas such as food, agriculture, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, anticancer, and antimicrobial activities.
