Sophorolipids: Nature's Powerful, Eco-Friendly Surfactants
Sophorolipids are remarkable molecules at the forefront of green chemistry. They are a type of biosurfactant, meaning they are produced through microbial fermentation, typically by yeast species like Starmerella bombicola. Their unique structure gives them exceptional surface-active properties, allowing them to reduce surface tension, stabilize mixtures, and act as powerful cleansers and emulsifiers.
