A Structural Study on Canola Oil-Fermented Microbial Emulsions Using BT1 Strain.

ABSTRACT: The demand for sustainable bioderived surfactants, such as microbial surfactants, is steadily increasing. While prior studies have mainly focused on developing new production methods for biosurfactants, identifying their chemical identities, or elucidating underlying metabolic mechanisms, research on the structure of emulsions formed by these surfactants and their internal fluid-fluid interfaces remain relatively scarce. In this study, we present a novel microbial emulsion produced by fermenting canola oil with BT1 strain and investigate its detailed structure. The extracted fermentation products exhibited water affinity and water-canola oil interfacial activity, which were characterized using relaxation nuclear magnetic resonance and pendant drop tensiometry, respectively. These fermentat
