Now that the technology has become af- fordable and is in full-scale operation at some industrial plants, the technical and perfor- mance advantages are just starting to be realized. sophorolipid biosurfactants: state of the art, applications, and 121 outlook Sophorolipid biosurfactants have a lower carbon footprint than and lack the undesirable side products of many surfactants currently on the market. They are also completely bio- degradable and demonstrate potential in hard-surface cleaning, automatic dishwashing applications, and dynamic applications such as spray-on coating and cleaning. the globalization of oils and fats The opening of large global trade channels has helped meet the rising global demand for 127 oils and fats. Supply increases were partly made through increased acreage usage that displaced wild tropical forest and other domestic crops. However, agricultural improve- ments that increased yields were the main driver in the rising productivity of the major vegetable oils. Ensuring the long-term adequate supply of this essential food staple will require a new “green revolution” similar to the one that occurred during the 1960s for grains.
