Title: | Technology Development for Sophorolipid Production |
Area: | Life Sciences & Biotechnology, Engineering Sciences, Pharmaceutical Sciences |
Focus Area: | Sophorolipid Production |
Social Benefits: | Sophorolipid is known to be a less-toxic, non-alergic biosurfactant with significant biomedical potential as anticancer, virucidal, bactericidal and antifungal agents. These molecules have been approved for external application by the USFDA and are used in the shampoo, body washes, perfume and fragrance products in the cosmetic and body care industries. We have developed a cost effective technology for the production of sophorolipid using agri-industry by product. The technology is ready at bench scale and has scope of development at the pilot scale. |
