CUTTING-EDGE TECHNIQUES IN SYNTHESIZING NONIONIC SURFACTANTS FROM REGIONAL FEEDSTOCKS
Keywords:
local feedstocks, renewable raw materials, enzymatic synthesis, alkyl polyglucosides, lignocellulosic biomass, microbial fermentation, biosurfactants, green chemistry.Abstract
Emphasizing sustainable chemistry, it reviews enzymatic synthesis from plant oils and sugars, chemical modification of lignocellulosic biomass, microbial fermentation, and green catalytic systems. The discussion highlights regional applications, benefits, and challenges, underscoring the potential for economic growth and environmental sustainability through the valorization of local agricultural and biomass resources. The article aims to provide insights for researchers, industry stakeholders, and policymakers interested in green surfactant production.
