Abstract excerpt
Surfactants are molecules derived primarily from petroleum that can reduce the surface tension at interfaces. Their slow degradation is a characteristic that could cause environmental issues. This and other factors contribute to the allure of biosurfactants today. Progress has been made in this area of research, which aims to satisfy the need for effective surfactants that are not harmful to the environment. In...
