Abstract

Fungal biopolymers have gained considerable attention from the scientific community for various applications due to their biological and physicochemical properties. The wide applications in several areas, especially in the food industry as a bioemulsifier and in the agricultural area as a biosurfactant, have expanded the knowledge on the production of fungal biopolymers to keep up with developments on this subject area. Recent scientific studies have disclosed novel routes, optimized parameters, increased yields, and other related approaches in order to produce and apply fungal bioemulsifiers and biosurfactants. However, there is a need to gather important information in order to provide a way forward. Therefore, this review presents an overview of properties, applications, and perspectives for encouraging further projects and investments in the near future by most categories of investors. The selection of culture media, the definition of cultivation parameters, extraction, recovery, and purification are the initial steps to indicate the conditions for scale-up. Indeed, scale-up is still one of the challenges in this biotechnological field, which could be solved by expanding the tests and operational productions in both pilot and industrial plants.

摘要

真菌生物聚合物由于其生物学和物理化学特性，已在科学界引起了广泛的关注，用于各种应用。在几个领域中的广泛应用，尤其是在食品工业中作为生物乳化剂，在农业领域中作为生物表面活性剂，已经扩大了真菌生物聚合物生产的知识，以适应该主题领域的发展。最近的科学研究已经公开了新颖的途径，优化的参数，增加的产率以及其他相关方法，以生产和应用真菌生物乳化剂和生物表面活性剂。但是，有必要收集重要信息以提供前进的方向。因此，本文将对特性，应用，以及大多数类别的投资者在不久的将来鼓励进一步的项目和投资的观点。培养基的选择，培养参数的定义，提取，回收和纯化是指示扩大规模条件的初始步骤。实际上，扩大规模仍然是该生物技术领域的挑战之一，可以通过扩大试验工厂和工业工厂的测试和生产规模来解决。
