Biosurfactants Produced from Microbial Fermentation

The technology relates to an innovative process for converting waste cooking oils to biosurfactants that are applicable to various industries. The process utilises a special yeast strain to convert waste into biosurfactant at competitive concentrations. The downstream process includes a bioreactor technology that allows for the continuous separation of the biosurfactant throughout production. The biosurfactants produced can be uniquely formulated for tailored applications.

The biosurfactants present an environmentally friendly and sustainable alternative comparable in effectiveness to synthetic counterparts. The non-hazardous and biodegradable biosurfactants have unique properties, such as high surface activity, stability across a wide range of conditions, and enhanced compatibility with human and environmental health.
