Biosurfactants: Production and application prospects in the food industry

Abstract: There has been considerable interest in the use of biosurfactants due to the diversity of structures and the possibility of production from a variety of substrates. The potential for industrial applications has been growing, as these natural compounds are tolerant to common processing methods and can compete with synthetic surfactants with regards to the capacity to reduce surface and interfacial tensions as well as stabilise emulsions while offering the advantages of biodegradability and low toxicity.

“…All these characteristics allow biosurfactants to be used as additives and versatile ingredients for the processing of foods. The antimicrobial property has enabled aggregation of greater value to products and the avoidance of contamination both during and after processing [29] . As a kind of biosurfactant, MELs have been reported to show strong antibacterial activity against pathogenic gram-positive bacteria, especially MEL-A and MEL-B [10] .…”

“…Biosurfactants are gaining popularity due to their remarkable advantages over synthetic ones—low toxicity, biodegradability, efficacy over a broad pH and temperature range are just a few to name [ 5 7 ]. As a result, it is now used in a wide range of fields, including environmental [ 8 – 10 ], food [ 11 , 12 ], remediation [ 13 ], biomedical [ 14 16 ], and a variety of other commercial applications [ 17 – 20 ]. The different feedstocks used, benefits, applications, and drawbacks of biosurfactants are depicted in Fig.…”

“…A large number of reviews have detailed the promising applications of BS molecules from different bacteria to resolve biomedical problems or for food preservation (Fariq and Saeed, 2016;Naughton et al, 2019;Satpute et al, 2019;Ribeiro et al, 2020). Few review papers inquire into the human body sites where BSs are produced as well as the diverse bioactivities that they harbor (beyond the surfactant capacity) (Chen et al, 2017).…”
