Unlocking the Potential of Mannosylerythritol Lipids: Properties and Industrial Applications

Joana Dias de Almeida,
Miguel Figueiredo Nascimento,

et al.

Abstract: Mannosylerythritol lipids (MELs), one of the most promising biosurfactants (BS), are glycolipids produced by yeasts or fungi, which have great environmental performance and high compatibility with the human body. MELs, besides working as typical surfactants, can form diverse structures when at or above the critical aggregation concentration (CAC), reduce the surface tension of water and other solutions, and be stable over a wide range of conditions. Among others, MELs present antimicrobial, antitumor, antioxid… Show more
