This review discusses the classification, characteristics, and applications of biosurfactants.
The biosynthesis pathways for different classes of biosurfactants are reviewed. An in-depth …

Methods for site-selective transformations of hydroxyl groups in carbohydrate derivatives are
reviewed. The construction of oligosaccharides of defined connectivity hinges on such …

Biosurfactants combine physicochemical properties with biological activities. Although
biosurfactants are often expressed by microorganisms, an increasing amount is produced by …

This chapter deals with current trends in the biomanufacturing of potential, environmentally
friendly surface active compounds known as green surfactants. The high manufacturing cost …

The highly stereoselective synthesis of 1, 1′‐disaccharides was achieved by using 1, 2‐
dihydroxyglycosyl acceptors and glycosyl donors in the presence of a tricyclic borinic acid …

Trehalose containing glycolipids have been isolated from various species of mycobacteria,
fungi and worms. Owing to their versatile biological roles, and heterogenicity of the natural …

deoxycholate (NaDC) within aqueous solution of ionic liquid (IL) 1-ethyl-3 …

Three different types of organoboron-catalyzed glycosylations using 1, 2-O-unprotected
sugars have been developed for the synthesis of 1, 2-cis-glycosides. Although arylboronic …

The quest for sustainable mining processes has directed research towards environmentally
friendly alternatives to conventional beneficiation practices, with biosurfactants emerging as …

Deoxy-β-C-aryl/alkyl glycosides were synthesized from di-O-pivaloyl protected homoallylic
alcohol derived from D-mannitol with various aldehydes via the Prins cyclization. The salient …
