Sophorolipids are a type of glycolipids that are produced by certain yeast species, such as Candida bombicola. They are biosurfactants, which means they can lower the surface tension and interfacial tension of liquids. Sophorolipids consist of a hydrophilic sophorose head, which is a disaccharide of glucose, and a hydrophobic fatty acid tail, which can vary in length and saturation. Sophorolipids can exist in two forms: acidic or lactonic. The acidic form has a free carboxylic acid group at the end of the fatty acid tail, while the lactonic form has an internal ester bond between the carboxylic acid group and the sophorose head.

The future market trends of sophorolipids are expected to be driven by the increasing demand for bio-based and eco-friendly products, especially in the industries of detergents, personal care, food processing, oilfield chemicals, and pharmaceuticals. Sophorolipids have various advantages over synthetic surfactants, such as biodegradability, low toxicity, high efficiency, and multifunctionality. They also have potential applications in antimicrobial, anticancer, immunomodulatory, and environmental remediation fields. However, the market may face some challenges, such as high production costs, feedstock availability and sustainability, competition with food crops, and regulatory and ethical issues. Some of the emerging trends that are shaping the market are the development of new sophorolipid variants, the adoption of single-use bioprocessing systems, the incorporation of machine learning and artificial intelligence, and the design of resilient and flexible supply chains.
