Abstract

Changes in the environment in recent years have led to the examination of the role and influence human activities on it. Attempts to quantify the impact of these activities by developing standardized modeling frameworks through life cycle sustainability assessment is one such approach in the context of sustainability seeking to measure the impact of human interventions from a holistic perspective that includes economic, social, and environmental dimensions. Sustainable alternatives to synthetic products are always keenly sought after. Biosurfactants are emerging as suitable alternatives to the predominant less sustainable petroleum-derived counterparts. Several factors surrounding their production, distribution, and end-use, however, still needs to be considered before conclusively confirming their sustainability. Though data are still limited in that subject matter, research showing their impact on some sustainability indicators is highlighted. This review discusses the potential of biosurfactants as sustainable products in the context of social, economic, and environmental aspects.

生物表面活性剂:发展可持续未来的机会

近年来环境的变化导致了对人类活动对环境的作用和影响的研究。通过生命周期可持续性评估开发标准化建模框架，试图量化这些活动的影响，这是可持续性背景下的一种方法，旨在从包括经济、社会和环境维度在内的整体角度衡量人类干预的影响。人们总是热切地寻求合成产品的可持续替代品。生物表面活性剂正逐渐成为主要的可持续性较差的石油衍生产品的合适替代品。然而，在最终确认其可持续性之前，仍需要考虑围绕其生产、分配和最终用途的几个因素。虽然这方面的数据仍然有限，但强调了显示它们对某些可持续性指标的影响的研究。本文讨论了生物表面活性剂在社会、经济和环境方面作为可持续产品的潜力。

期刊介绍： Current Opinion in Colloid and Interface Science (COCIS) is an international journal that focuses on the molecular and nanoscopic aspects of colloidal systems and interfaces in various scientific and technological fields. These include materials science, biologically-relevant systems, energy and environmental technologies, and industrial applications. Unlike primary journals, COCIS primarily serves as a guide for researchers, helping them navigate through the vast landscape of recently published literature. It critically analyzes the state of the art, identifies bottlenecks and unsolved issues, and proposes future developments. Moreover, COCIS emphasizes certain areas and papers that are considered particularly interesting and significant by the Editors and Section Editors. Its goal is to provide valuable insights and updates to the research community in these specialized areas.
