Life cycle assessment for early-stage process optimization of microbial biosurfactant production using kinetic models—a case study on mannosylerythritol lipids (MEL)

Life cycle assessment for early-stage process optimization of microbial biosurfactant production using kinetic models—a case study on mannosylerythritol lipids (MEL)

Introduction: This study assesses the environmental impacts of mannosylerythritol lipids (MELs) production for process optimization using life cycle assessment (LCA). MELs are glycolipid-type microbial biosurfactants with many possible applications based on their surface-active properties. They are...
