Production of cupcake-like dessert containing microbial biosurfactant as an emulsifier [PDF]

PeerJ, 2020
This work describes the application of the biosurfactant from Candida bombicola URM 3718 as a meal additive like cupcake. The biosurfactant was produced in a culture medium containing 5% sugar cane molasses, 5% residual soybean oil and 3% corn steep ...

Production of biosurfactant by Bacillus megaterium and its correlation with lipid peroxidation of Lactuca sativa

Egyptian Journal of Petroleum, 2022
The biosurfactant-producing bacterial isolate was isolated from an oil-contaminated water sample. This study aimed to determine the production of biosurfactant and its effect on the plant growth via the biosorption of some heavy metals.

Performance and kinetics of benzo(a)pyrene biodegradation in contaminated water and soil and improvement of soil properties by biosurfactant amendment

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2021
As a hydrophobic pollutant, benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) is difficult to be degraded by microbes due to its poor water solubility. To improve its water solubility, this study harvested a biosurfactant from swine wastewater.

Biosurfactant [PDF]

Eksergi, 2015
Surfactant is an amphipilic chemical structure which contains the hydrophobic and hydrophilic groups. Surfactant has ability to lower surface tension between two liquids. Surfactant has been used in many industries, such as cosmetics, food, textile, petroleum, and pharmacy industry.

Evaluation of surface activity of rhamnolipid biosurfactants produced from rice bran oil through dynamic surface tension

Journal of Petroleum Exploration and Production Technology, 2023
The use of low-cost carbon substrates such as agricultural residues can drastically lower the cost of biosurfactant production. In this study, rice bran oil extracted from agricultural waste was used as a renewable carbon source for biosurfactant ...
