Some yeasts are preferred to bacteria as sources for biosurfactants, mainly due to their GRAS status for environmental and health safety reasons. This chapter thus focuses on the production of biosurfactants by some yeast cultures using renewable resources like fatty wastes from household and vegetable oil refineries as major substrates. The chapter also emphasizes on the importance of the application of response surface methodology and artificial neural network techniques for the optimization of biosurfactant production by yeasts.
一些酵母由于其作为生物表面活性剂的来源具有 GRAS 地位,主要是出于对环境和健康安全的考虑,优于细菌。因此,本章主要集中于利用可再生资源(如家庭和植物油精炼厂的脂肪废物)作为主要基质,通过一些酵母培养物生产生物表面活性剂。本章还强调了应用响应面法和人工神经网络技术对酵母生物表面活性剂生产进行优化的重要性。
