Welcome to this module on biosurfactants!

Do you know what ‘biosurfactants’ are? No? Maybe you also don’t know what ‘surfactants’ are? Then you will be surprised to hear that you have used or even eaten several products today that contain surfactants. Surprised? If you are, then watch this video and learn about the very diverse applications where surfactants are used and also learn why they are used in many of the products in our daily lives we could not imagine doing without. You will find some of the discussed examples on labels of products you use in your daily lives. You will also learn about the labelling of surfactants related to their (biobased) sourcing and as such be introduced to what ‘biosurfactants’ are.

Are you ready? Let’s go!
