Biosurfactant Production in the Context of Biorefineries Paulo Ricardo Franco Marcelino, Carlos Augusto Ramos, Maria Teresa Ramos, Renan Murbach Pereira, Rafael Rodrigues Philippini, et al. Biosurfactants and Sustainability from Biorefineries Production to Versatile Applications, 2023
Production, Physicochemical and Structural Characterization of a Bioemulsifier Produced in a Culture Medium Composed of Sugarcane Bagasse Hemicellulosic Hydrolysate and Soybean Oil in the Context of Biorefineries Fernanda Gonçalves Barbosa, Paulo Ricardo Franco Marcelino, Talita Martins Lacerda, Rafael Rodrigues Philippini, Emma Teresa Giancaterino, et al. Fermentation, 2022 Biosurfactants are amphipathic molecules, biodegradable, with reduced toxicity. They can be synthesized by fermentative processes from oleaginous compounds and agro-industrial by-products. In this context, the present study describes the production and the physical, chemical, and structural characterization of the bioemulsifier secreted by the yeast Scheffersomyces shehatae 16-BR6-2AI in a medium containing hemicellulosic sugarcane bagasse hydrolysate combined with soybean oil. The bioemulsifier was produced in Erlenmeyer flasks and isolated; then, the physicochemical and structural characterization of the formed molecule was carried out. The following fermentation parameters were obtained: YX/S = 0.45, YP/S = 0.083, and productivity of 0.076 g/L/h. The bioemulsifier was found to be a polymer containing 53% of carbohydrates, 40.92% of proteins, and 6.08% of lipids, respectively. The FTIR spectrum confirmed the presence of functional groups such as amides, amines, and carbonyls. The bioemulsifier was stable over a range of temperature (−20 °C to 120 °C), salinity (1–15%), and pH (2–12). It was observed that the biomolecule has a better emulsifying action in organic solvents with a non-polar character. Therefore, this biomolecule is a potential substitute for synthetic surfactants and can be used in different applications.
