Stresses the Potential Applications of Biosurfactants in Various
Industries Environmental concerns and a demand for sustainable
chemical production have become important issues in recent years.
As a result, microbial biosurfactant-producing systems are gaining
momentum as potential replacements for chemical surfactants.
Biosurfactants: Production and Utilization-Processes, Technologies,
and Economics explores the production, utilization, and
industrial/economic use of biosurfactants in modern biotechnology.
This book represents comprehensive material developed by
contemporary experts in the field. Focusing on research and
developments within the last 20 years, it highlights relevant
changes in the industry. It provides a detailed account of the
current applications of biosurfactants, considers the potential for
further environmental, biological, and industrial applications, and
concentrates on surfactants and organisms with possibilities for
future use. Emphasizes Process Scale-Up and Commercialization
Factoring in the industrial application of biosurfactant production
based on renewable resources, the book determines how
biosurfactants can enhance or replace the properties of chemically
synthesized surface-active agents. It discusses moving beyond the
laboratory scale of research and development and on to the
industrial scale of commercial interest. The book consists of 17
chapters and features expert authors discussing topics that
include: Understanding the regulatory processes controlling the
production of biosurfactants Strategies for feasible commercial
biosurfactant production Examples of cost analysis based on
published information The viability of industrial applications in
food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals Patents for future trends
Biosurfactants: Production and Utilization-Processes, Technologies,
and Economics contains special sections devoted to the overview and
evaluation of specific patents relating to biosurfactants, and
methods for production of biosurfactants on a laboratory and
industrial/commercial scale. It also presents novel and proven
applications for biosurfactants from a number of biotechnology
laboratories and research facilities around the world. In addition,
it introduces the reader to a variety of real-world industry
techniques readily applicable for practical use.
