Marine-Derived Surface Active Agents: Health-Promoting Properties and Blue Biotechnology-Based Applications [PDF]
Biomolecules, 2020 Surface active agents are characterized for their capacity to adsorb to fluid and solid-water interfaces. They can be classified as surfactants and emulsifiers based on their molecular weight (MW) and properties.
