“…Bioemulsifiers are synthesized in various biological sources such as bacteria, fungi and yeast. Because of their functional abilities and environmentally friendly properties, emulsions and biosurfactants are considered as multifunctional biomolecules of the recent century, especially in the food industry [108]. Several microorganisms are promising candidates for production emulsifiers (Table 1).…”

Industrial microbiology is one branch of applied microbiology where microbes are used to produce important products such as metabolic manufacture, biotransformation, manufacture of energy (bio-fuels), management of organic and industrial wastes, manufacture of microbial biomass (microbial protein) for food and feed, manufacture of bio-control agents (antibiotics) and fermentation of food products. Microbial food processing is used to transform simple food into a value-added form with the assistance of microbes. In addition, it involves converting low-value, often inedible, perishable natural resources into high-value, safe food products. Since antiquity, mankind have used microbes to produce a variety of food products such as dairy products, bread, vinegar, wine and beer, as well as fermented seafood, meat and vegetables. There are many useful applications of microbes in the food processing industry, which have a strong influence on the quality and quantity of food. Recently, microbial approaches of food processing have garnered global attention as a workable method to food conservation and a good source of vital nutrients. Microbial contamination of food commodities typically occurs between the field and the processing plant or during processing, storage, transportation and distribution or prior to consumption. Consequently, microbes are being considered as very significant elements in food manufacturing, food quality maintenance and food safety. In this chapter, we focus on the beneficial roles of microorganisms, the applications of microorganisms in the food industry and the risks of microbial contamination.

“…The greatest similarity occurs with the Emulsan molecule, an extracellular amphipathic lipoheteropolysaccharide, containing D-glucosamine, uronic acid, amino carbohydrates, and fatty acids in its structure [37]. This biomolecule is reported as a strong emulsifying agent, known not only for its high potential of use in oil spill remediation but also for the pharmaceutical and food industries [17,37].…”

“…In the process of bioremediation of oil-contaminated environments, the biosurfactants will emulsify these hydrophobic molecules, so that, later, they are degraded by the microorganisms present [14]. In addition to this use, biosurfactants can be applied in many processes in cosmetic, food, and pharmaceutical industries [14][15][16][17].…”

Oil spills in marine environments are common due to the intense flow of transport. One of the ways to reduce the effects caused by these spills is bioremediation. A biosurfactant produced by Acinetobacter venetianus AMO1502, a strain isolated from oil spilled off the Brazilian coast, was investigated as a bioremediation agent. The highest cell growth and biosurfactant production were obtained using a culture medium supplemented with NaCl. The biosurfactant had high emulsifying activity and reduced the surface tension of water by up to 41.7 %. This biomolecule showed high stability related to temperature, pH, and NaCl addition as petroderivate removal agent, reaching 25 % removal of the engine oil in sand and 12 % removal of the oil in an aqueous medium, also reducing oil stains adsorbed on contaminated stones.

Life exists at an interface. One of the key characteristics of biological cells is compartmentalization, which is facilitated by lipids that create a water-impenetrable barrier to control transport of materials across the hydrophilic-hydrophobic interface. Microbial systems utilize a rich diversity of surfactants beyond lipids to adapt to an environmental niche, modify the properties of an interface, facilitate solubilization of nutrients for metabolism and as antimicrobials. As such, they are a fascinating class of biomolecules to study in terms of how effectiveness in an application or niche environment depends on sequence, structure and chemical properties. Moreover, there is increasing appreciation of the negative health and environmental impacts petrochemical-based surfactants can have, such as soil erosion and toxicity to plants and aquatic life, as well as the carbon footprint and associated greenhouse gas emissions associated with petrochemical surfactant manufacturing. In this review, we discuss the properties of biosurfactants and applications, and highlight key glycolipid-, protein- and peptide-based surfactants described in literature as examples of biosurfactants with unique potential and applications. As society looks towards the transition to a circular bioeconomy, we are excited by the potential of synthetic biology to develop new materials such as biosurfactants to facilitate this important transition.
