Biosurfactants for cosmetic applications [PDF]
International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 1991 SynopsisBiosurfactants are biologically‐produced, natural surface active agents and are synthesized by a range of microorganisms. These compounds include glycolipids, lipopeptides and phospholipids. The yields of biosurfactants in microbial fermentations may be as high as 150g l−1 and may be increased by optimizing production conditions and by strain ...
