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.
Providing comprehensive, up-to-the minute discussions of all
aspects that relate to the physical and chemical properties,
manufacture, and industrial uses of biosurfactants, this important
new reference offers first-hand accounts of biosurfactant research
from leading biotechnology laboratories.It also introduces
promising possible uses of biosurfactants in medicine, in
environmental control, and for marine organisms supplying a
comprehensive overview of production, this text - reviews the
biosynthetic mechanisms for surfactants and their precursor
molecules; examines immobilized biocatalyst, lipopeptide, and
rhamnolipid production; highlights glycolipid biosynthesis;
explicates genetic engineering of surface-active compounds and the
biophysics of microbial surfactants; evaluates biological
activities and microbial lipopolysaccharides; assesses the
application of biosurfactants in environmental control; focuses on
pulmonary surfactants; furnishes information on the economics of
biosurfactants as a key to industrial applications. experts and
containing more than 1430 literature citations, tables and figures,
this book provides a resource for physical, surface, and colloid
chemists; petrochemical, chemical, biochemical, petroleum, and
pollution control engineers; pharmacologists; cosmetic scientists;
food scientists; microbiologists; biotechnologists; and
graduate-level and continuing education students in these
discipline
Here is the first comprehensive reference to examine microbial
surface active agents (biosurfactants)and biological emulsifiers as
applied in biotechnology and other industries.Biosurfactants and
Biotechnology highlights state-of-the-art uses of these agents, and
incorporatesa wealth of ideas for future research and development
related to feedstocks, production,and processing. The book
delineates the chemistry, biochemistry, mechanisms, and
propertiesof biosurfactants and biological emulsifiers .. .
critically assesses their role in enhanced oil recoveryand other
industrial applications . .. and includes numerous references to
the literature.Biosurfactants and Biotechnology is an invaluable
guide for physical, surface, and colloidchemists working on or with
surfactants, interfacial phenomena, and cell-surface physiology
;petrochemical, chemical, biochemical, petroleum, and pollution
control engineers; pharmacologists,cosmetic scientists, food
scientists, and microbiologists. It is also an important
resourcefor graduate students in these fields.
Providing comprehensive discussions of the physical and chemical
properties, manufacture, and industrial uses of biosurfactants,
this reference offers first-hand accounts of biosurfactant research
