This book provides a comprehensive overview of current
biosurfactant research and applications. Public awareness of
environmental issues has increased significantly over the last
decade, a trend that has been accompanied by industry demands for
climate-friendly and environmentally friendly renewable raw
materials. In the context of household products, biosurfactants
could potentially meet this demand in the future due to their low
ecotoxicity, excellent biodegradability, and use of renewable raw
materials. The diversity of this class of molecules, which has only
been marginally tapped to date, offers only an inkling of their
future application potential. However, there are two main obstacles
to their widespread commercial use on the growing surfactant
market: the lack of attractive and competitive production
technologies, and the limited structural diversity of commercially
available biosurfactants. Addressing both of these core issues,
this book will provide readers with a deeper understanding of the
role of biosurfactants, including future opportunities and
challenges. Chapter "Environmental Impacts of Biosurfactants from a
Life Cycle Perspective: A Systematic Literature Review" is
