Optimization of extraction conditions and fatty acid characterization of <i>Lactobacillus pentosus</i> cell‐bound biosurfactant/bioemulsifier

Abstract

The optimum extraction conditions of biosurfactant were achieved at 45 °C at 120 min and using 9 g kg(-1) of salt. In all the assays biosurfactant from L. pentosus yielded more stable emulsions and higher emulsion volumes than polysorbate 20.
