Preface
Microorganisms create a structurally varied category of surface-active chemicals
known as biosurfactants. Biosurfactants have been investigated as a potential sub-
stitute for synthetic surfactants in numerous industrial processes, including food,
medicine, biotechnology, petroleum, oil recovery, biomedical and therapeutic, and
bioremediation,duetotherisingworldwideneedforsustainablesolutions.Thebook
willcoveravarietyofcurrentbiosurfactantsresearchadvancementsandprogresses.
Thebookwillalsocoverthemostrecentacademicadvances,majorapplications,and
implementation studies from across the world. It will be a valuable resource for
researchorganizations,researchinstitutes,universitylibraries,andR&Dinvolvedin
recentsurfactantresearchanddevelopment.
The book is divided into four parts, and each part contains numerous chapters.
PART1exploresthe“overviewandeconomicaspectofbiosurfactantsproduction.”
Topics covered in Chapters “Biosurfactants: Types, Sources, and Production” to
“Surface Activity and EmulsificationProperties of Saponins asBiosurfactants” are
types, sources, characterization, purification, biodegradation, and cytotoxic aspects
of biosurfactants. PART 2 discusses the biosurfactant’s industrial applications.
TopicscoveredinChapters“BiosurfactantsasEmulsifyingAgentsinFoodFormu-
lation”to“TheRoleofBiosurfactantsinBiofuelProduction”aretheapplicationof
biosurfactants innanoparticle synthesis,heavymetalremediation, drugabsorption,
waste treatment, agriculture management, marine sediment remediation of organic
pollutants, biofuel production, emulsification, and anti-corrosive applications.
PART 3 discusses the biosurfactant’s biomedical applications. Topics covered in
Chapters“RoleofBiosurfactantsinBiocidalActivityandWoundHealing”to“Role
of Biosurfactants in Biofilm Prevention and Disruption” are the application of
biosurfactants asbiocidal,wound healing, and anti-tumor agents. Thissectionalso
coverstheapplicationsofbiosurfactantsinoralcavitycare,andbiofilmprevention
