Abstract
Food production and food security to all humans are challenging tasks in food industries throughout the globe. Food contamination is a significant cause of a problem in food security and human health. Food may contaminate and negatively impact human health during food processing, packing, and storage. Therefore, food additives are used in various food formulations to minimize food contamination, which helps meet food security for all. Owing to their natural origin, abundant availability, biodegradable and ecological pleasant properties, the use of biosurfactants has been growing in recent years. Biosurfactants are safer and healthier than their counterpart synthetic antioxidants in many ways. Synthetic surfactants may be replaced with biosurfactants in detergents, antioxidants, emulsifiers, and stabilizers, foaming and wetting applications. The present chapter provides a detailed discussion about biosurfactants sources and their uses in the food engineering. Biosurfactants have a large variety of antioxidant uses, and these are discussed here. This chapter presents the current research on biosurfactant applications as antioxidants.
