Promising Biosurfactant Produced byCunninghamella echinulataUCP 1299 Using Renewable Resources and Its Application in Cotton Fabric Cleaning Process

Abstract

A biosurfactant was produced from Cunninghamella echinulata using sustainable technology for cleaning and degreasing of cotton fabric impregnated with burned motor oil. The surface tension was 32.4 mN/m on a medium containing instant noodle waste (2%), corn steep liquor (2%), and postfrying oil (0.5%) with a carbon/nitrogen ratio of 30 : 1, yield of 6.0 g·L−1, emulsifier index of 81.4%, and dispersant property of 32.15 cm2. The biosurfactant produced is a glycolipid constituted by carbohydrate (47.7%) and lipids (50.0%). The structure was confirmed by GC-MS (stearic acid in predominance with mass of 298 m/z), FTIR spectroscopy (polysaccharides in bands between 1025 and 1152 cm−1 and fatty acids in bands between 2057 and 3100 cm−1), 1H NMR, and 13C NMR spectrum (carbohydrates in signal of 4.38 ppm and 77.0 ppm). The properties of cleaning and degreasing of burned engine oil in cotton fabric by biosurfactant of C. echinulata was evidenced by removal of 86% of oil. After use of the biosurfactant, the fibers were not damaged, which is important for structural integrity of cotton fabric after the wash. In addition, the biosurfactant did not show toxic effect. This study suggests that the biosurfactant from C. echinulata can be used in formulation of textile detergents, in particular for removal of hydrophobic residues from the automobile industry.

Microbial valorization of waste cooking oils for valuable compounds production – a review

“…(Santos et al, 2019), among others (Table 1). Regarding yeast strains, Candida species, particularly Candida tropicalis (Almeida et al, 2017;Batista et al, 2010;Junior et al, 2018;Rubio-Ribeaux et al, 2017), are the most studied for biosurfactants production from WCO, but other species (Andrade et al, 2018;Camargo et al, 2018;Niu et al, 2019) were studied (Table 2). Unlike to bacteria cultures, in biosurfactants production by yeast, normally WCO are used as co-substrate or inductor and not as the only carbon source (Almeida et al, 2017;Campos et al, 2014;Junior et al, 2018;Kanna, 2018;Pinto et al, 2018;Rubio-Ribeaux et al, 2017).…”

Produção De Biossurfactante E Lipídeos Por Uma Nova Cepa De Absidia Cylindrospora Ucp 1301 Isolada Do Solo Da Caatinga Usando Subprodutos Agroindustriais De Baixo Custo / Production of Biosurfactant and Lipids by a Novel Strain of Absidia Cylindrospora Ucp 1301 Isolated From Caatinga Soil Using Low-Cost Agro-Industrial by-Products

“…Most of the biosurfactants produced and commercialized are produced mainly by bacteria and yeasts, but recent studies have highlighted the production of these compounds by filamentous fungi (CHAVES, 2017;. In this sense, Mucoralean fungi have been investigated due to their potential to produce biosurfactants, as demonstrated by ANDRADE et al (2018), SILVA et al (2014), BIONE et al (2016), PELE et al (2018 and MARQUES et al (2019). However, this is the first report on the production of biosurfactant by representatives of the genus Absidia.…”

“…Biosurfactants are amphipathic molecules with ability to display a variety of surface activities that, among other roles, help solubilizing hydrophobic substrates and are the subject of intense investigation (ANDRADE et al, 2018;FERREIRA et al, 2020). One of the major potential applications is their use as replacements for synthetic surfactants in many existing and future industrial and environmental applications.…”

“…There are several studies related the production of biosurfactant by Mucoralean fungi (SILVA et al, 2014;LINS et al, 2017;ANDRADE et al, 2018;PELE et al, 2019), as well as lipids accumulation (MOUSTOGIANNI et al, 2015;LIMA et al, 2017;CARVALHO et al, 2019). However, simultaneous production of biosurfactant and lipids for these fungi have not yet been reported in the literature.…”
