“…Despite the various advantages, there are still specific worries regarding the safety of NE associated mainly with their synthetic emulsifiers, used as surface-active ingredients for elaborating NE (Komaiko & McClements, 2016b;Nitschke & Silva, 2018). Indeed, most of these synthetic emulsifiers induced health problems and might cause toxic symptoms for consumers with the long administration (Grumezescu, 2017).…”

In recent years, substantial consideration within the food industry has been aimed at the development of food‐grade nanoemulsions (NE) as promising systems for encapsulating, stabilizing, and delivering bioactive compounds. Although numerous studies have revealed the critical potential of NE, there are still several challenges to overcome them. These include the extensive amounts of synthetic emulsifiers needed for NE formulation, which can potentially be toxic for human health. The interest in safety, and natural emulsifiers have stimulated food manufacturers to develop "label‐friendly" formulations by replacing synthetic emulsifiers with natural alternatives. This review represents a critical and comprehensive summary of the application of natural emulsifiers as potential substitutes for synthetic emulsifiers in NE production, with particular emphasis on the newly identified natural emulsifiers. Some recent reports showed the excellent emulsifying properties of various natural emulsifier extracted from natural resources, to produce NE, and therefore, might be generalized for further industrial applications. Future trends are encouraged to identify novel natural emulsifiers from industrial food by‐products that may demonstrate highly effective emulsifiers.

“…They all show diverse emulsification, interfacial, and surface tension properties. These compounds are known to exhibit broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, and different classes of biosurfactants are being used by the agricultural, oil, food, cosmetic, biotechnological, and pharmaceutical industries, as well as in a wide range of environmental remediation technologies [24,[28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35]. The review of Fenibo et al [36] offers an overview of diverse applications of biosurfactants, with emphases on petroleum biotechnology, environmental remediation, and the agriculture sector.…”

Corrosion influenced by microbes, commonly known as microbiologically induced corrosion (MIC), is associated with biofilm, which has been one of the problems in the industry. The damages of industrial equipment or infrastructures due to corrosion lead to large economic and environmental problems. Synthetic chemical biocides are now commonly used to prevent corrosion, but most of them are not effective against the biofilms, and they are toxic and not degradable. Biocides easily kill corrosive bacteria, which are as the planktonic and sessile population, but they are not effective against biofilm. New antimicrobial and eco-friendly substances are now being developed. Biosurfactants are proved to be one of the best eco-friendly anticorrosion substances to inhibit the biocorrosion process and protect materials against corrosion. Biosurfactants have recently became one of the important products of bioeconomy with multiplying applications, while there is scare knowledge on their using in biocorrosion treatment. In this review, the recent findings on the application of biosurfactants as eco-friendly and innovative biocides against biocorrosion are highlighted.

“…; Varjani and Upasani ). Biosurfactants exhibit several advantages over their chemical counterparts in terms of lower toxicity, greater biodegradability and specificity, their ability to function in wide and extreme conditions, and also their biocompatibility and digestibility which make them excellent candidates for use in agriculture (Sachdev and Cameotra ), food industry (Nitschke and Silva ), soil and water remediation (Ashraf et al . ; Mahanti et al .…”

Biosurfactant production: emerging trends and promising strategies

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Biosurfactants are economically most sought after biotechnological compounds of the 21st century. However, inefficient bioprocessing has mitigated the economical commercial production of these compounds. Although much work is being done on the use of low-cost substrates for their production, a paucity of literature exists on the upcoming bioprocess optimization strategies and their successes and potential for economical biosurfactant production. This review discusses some of the latest developments and most promising strategies to enhance and economize the biosurfactant production process. Recent market analysis, developments in the field of optimally formulated cost credit substrates for enhanced product formation and subsequent process economization are few of the critical aspects highlighted here. Use of nanoparticles and coproduction of biosurfactant along with other commercially important compounds like enzymes, are other upcoming bioprocess intensification strategies. The recent developments discussed here would not only give an overview of pertinent parameters for economic biosurfactant production but would also bring to fore multiple strategies that would open up new avenues of research on biosurfactant production. This would go a long way in making biosurfactants a commercially successful compound of the current century.
