ABSTRACT
Biosurfactants are surface active compounds
released by microorganisms. There are several known microbe involve for the
production of biosurfactants but exploration of potential biosurfactant
producer is need of hours to accelerate its economic production for industrial
use. These compounds are mainly classified according to their molecular weight,
physico-chemical properties and mode of action. They are eco-friendly, easily
biodegradable and non-toxic materials. Numerous application of biosurfactants
is being practiced with several advantages in laundry cleaning, food processing,
cosmetic industry, petroleum, microbial enhance oil recovery, agriculture and
medical. It can be produced through use of cheaper, renewable substrates as
potential carbon sources come from various industries such as agricultural
wastes (sugars, molasses, plant oils, oil wastes, starchy substances and lactic
whey), dairy industry whey, distillery wastes, animal fat and oil industries.
This leads to greater possibility of economical biosurfactant production and
eco-friendly management of unwanted industrial wastes. Keeping all above
merits, the information about the extraction of the different microbial
biosurfactants from the cell-free supernatant using the solvent extraction
procedure and the qualitative and quantitative analysis
