Green Pyramid Biotech Turns Sophorolipid Research Into a Natural Food-Safety Platform

Sophorolipids are produced by certain yeasts through fermentation using suitable carbon sources such as sugars, oils, fatty acids or related compounds. These molecules contain both water-attracting and oil-attracting regions, giving them the ability to reduce surface tension and interact with oily or hydrophobic substances that ordinary water may struggle to remove.
