Active Biodegradable Cassava Starch Films Containing Sophorolipids Produced by Starmerella bombicola ATCC® 22214™

Sophorolipid‐mediated green synthesis of silver nanoparticles for antimicrobial starch nanocomposite films

“…The production and characterization of sophorolipids were performed as previously described by our group 19–23 . The analysis of sophorolipid samples by HPLC showed that, in comparison with the standard, the sophorolipids produced were predominantly lactone C18:1 diacetylated 19…”

“…The production and characterization of sophorolipids were performed as previously described by our group. [19][20][21][22][23] The analysis of sophorolipid samples by HPLC showed that, in comparison with the standard, the sophorolipids produced were predominantly lactone C18:1 diacetylated. 19 Initially, the influence of temperature and reaction times in the nanoparticle's synthesis by sophorolipids were evaluated by UV-Vis (Figure 1a).…”

“…[13][14][15] This biomolecule is well-recognized for its biocompatibility, low toxicity, and biological properties, showing potent antimicrobial activity. [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] Starch is a widely used biopolymer, although limitations regarding mechanical properties and high sensitivity to bacterial contamination impairs its further use in food packaging. 24 Therefore, the incorporation of AgNP-SL could promote improvements in these aspects.…”

“…Biosurfactants, such as sophorolipids, have been pointed out as greenly alternative candidates in the synthesis of metallic nanoparticles, acting as reducing and capping agents, and may even enhance their biological properties 13–15 . This biomolecule is well‐recognized for its biocompatibility, low toxicity, and biological properties, showing potent antimicrobial activity 16–23 …”

Multifunctional Biotechnological Lip Moisturizer for Lip Repair and Hydration: Development, In Vivo Efficacy Assessment and Sensory Analysis

“…SOPs correspond to biosurfactants, which consist of disaccharide sophoroses (2 -O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-1-β-D-glucopyranose) linked by glycosidic bonds to a fatty acid chain [22], which are obtained from non-pathogenic fungal strains such as Starmerella bombicola. These have moisturizing, antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, which have high applicability in the cosmetic industry [22][23][24][25][26]. Maeng et al [27] produced SOP from Candida bombicola using horse oil, and they verified its properties.…”
