Sophorolipids (SLs) are surface active compounds that have excellent surface-lowering properties. Typically, SLs are produced using different hydrophobic substrates, such as alkanes, vegetable oils, and industrial effluents. The properties of the SLs are highly dependent on the hydrophobic substrate...
