Abstract

Chemical or synthetic surfactants being employed in numerous industries pose significant environmental hazards due to their persistence in the environment and potential toxicity to aquatic life. Biosurfactants are low-molecular-weight surface-active compounds that offer a promising alternative to surfactants owing to their less toxicity, biodegradability and biocompatibility nature. They are derived from a variety of natural sources, including bacteria, fungi, and plants. In recent years, there has been a surge in interest in producing biosurfactants using alternative substrates, such as different types of organic waste including food processing waste, animal fats and oils and agricultural residues. This emerging trend of utilizing alternative substrates for biosurfactant production has not only broadened their potential applications but has also sparked significant research interest across various sectors. The exploration of new sources for biosurfactants has led to innovative solutions in industries such as bioremediation, food processing, pharmaceuticals, and detergents, highlighting the versatile nature and growing importance of biosurfactants in sustainable development. In bioremediation, they enhance the solubility of pollutants, aiding in their removal from soil and water. In food processing, biosurfactants act as emulsifiers and foaming agents, improving the texture and stability of food products. Additionally, their antimicrobial properties make them valuable as therapeutic agents, while in the detergent industry, they serve as effective cleaning agents with low environmental impact. The present review undertakes a discussion on methods for isolating and characterizing microbial biosurfactants, optimizing microenvironment conditions for enhanced production, and exploring their applicability in various industries. By further researching and implementing biosurfactants, industries can reduce their reliance on harmful chemicals, leading to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly approach to surfactant use.

Keywords: Biosurfactants, Agro-chemical waste, surface active compounds, biodegradable and micro-organism.
