Biosurfactants: Formulations, properties, and applications
Abstract
Abstract In this review, we attempt to give an overview on the recent progress made on biosurfactants, surface-active biomolecules produced by microorganisms, which are a sustainable alternative to synthetic surfactants. Different biosurfactants, their production techniques, and their physical and chemical properties are discussed. There is a focus on recent studies related to surface properties and rheology of biosurfactants, both being properties which affect their ability to take part in a stable formulation. Biosurfactants can have applications in multiple different industrial sectors, such as agriculture, medicine, personal care, food, petroleum, etc. The specific properties important for applications in these sectors are discussed in detail.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
