Sophorolipids (SLs) are important glycolipid biosurfactants synthesized by Starmerella bombicola. They have great potential to be widely applied in many industrial sectors, including petroleum, environment, cosmetics, detergent industries, also including nanotechnology and especially pharmaceutical industry due to their high yields, biodegradability, low toxicity, good emulsification ability, tolerance to temperature, and good biological activities. They are one of the most promising biosurfactants which can bring great social, economic and ecological benefits.
