A simplified medium containing only soy molasses and oleic acid as ingredients was developed for the production of sophorolipids (SLs) from Candida bombicola. We achieved a product yield of 53 +/- 3 g of purified sophorolipids per liter of starting culture volume, which is 71 +/- 4% of the yield obtained with growth medium that also additionally contains the costly yeast extract and urea as nitrogen source. The large majority of the SL components existed in the lactone form (87%), and the predominant component is SL containing (omega-1)-hydroxyoleic acid as the lipid moiety. The study demonstrated for the first time the usefulness of the low-value soy molasses as a combined nitrogen- and carbon-source for SL production at a reduced cost.

Glycolipid biosurfactant, sophorolipids (SLs) and rhamnolipids (RLs) can be widely used in agriculture, food and chemical industries. The different physicochemical properties of SLs and RLs, such as hydrophilic lipophilic value (HLB) and critical micelle concentration (CMC), determine they have different application focus. Researchers are still hoping to obtain new glycolipid surfactants with unique surface activities.

The present study aimed to enhance the co-anaerobic digestion system of mushroom residues and cattle manure by incorporating biosurfactant sophorolipid. Results demonstrated that the addition of 75 mg/L sophorolipid increased cumulative methane production by 33.68%, acetate content by 9-10 times, and the abundance of Methanosarcina by 69.

With the improvement of environmental protection requirements in offshore oil and gas exploration, there is a great demand to find environmentally friendly surfactants for cementing preflush fluids. In the present paper, the application potential of three biosurfactants of rhamnolipid, lipopeptide, and sophorolipid in the preflush fluid was evaluated through a series of experiments. The experiments studied the interfacial tension (IFT) of the biosurfactants, resistance to temperature, salt resistance (sodium chloride and sea salt), and the influences of the studied biosurfactants on the rheological compatibility and capabilities to convert the wettability of the formation from oil-wet to water-wet, mud cake removal efficiency, and to improve the interfacial bonding properties of the preflush fluid.

Article Synopsis
- The production of sophorolipids (SLs) from agro-industrial waste represents a sustainable and cost-effective solution for enhancing food safety, acting as a natural alternative to harmful synthetic preservatives.
- SLs are recognized for their strong emulsifying and antimicrobial properties, which can help improve food quality while minimizing health and environmental risks.
- This study combines techno-economic analysis and life cycle assessment to evaluate different production strategies, highlighting their potential to improve waste management practices and promote eco-friendly food preservation methods.
