Microorganisms synthesise a wide range of surface-active compounds (SAC), generally
called biosurfactants. These compounds are mainly classified according to their molecular …

Biosurfactants are surface-active biomolecules produced by microbes (bacteria, fungi, and
yeast) and have several advantages over the chemical surfactants, such as lower toxicity …

Biosurfactants have become attractive microbial products in the emerging biotechnology
industry due to their advantages over synthetic surfactants in terms of environmental …

Surfactants and emulsifiers are surface-active compounds (SACs) which play an important
role in various industrial processes and products due to their interfacial properties. Many of …

Surfactants are compounds that can reduce the surface tension between two different
phases or the interfacial tension of the liquid between water and oil, possessing both …

Biosurfactants or microbial surfactants are surface-active biomolecules that are produced by
a variety of microorganisms. Biosurfactants have gained importance in the fields of …

Surfactants are surface-active compounds capable of reducing surface and interfacial
tension at the interfaces between liquids, solids and gases, thereby allowing them to mix or …

Chemically synthesized surface-active compounds are widely used in the pharmaceutical,
cosmetic, petroleum and food industries. However, with the advantages of biodegradability …

Surfactants are a group of amphiphilic chemical compounds (ie, having both hydrophobic
and hydrophilic domains) that form an indispensable component in almost every sector of …

Surfactants are amphiphilic surface active agents possessing both hydrophilic and
hydrophobic moieties that reduce surface and interfacial tensions by accumulating at the …
