Project: Valorisation of Orange Peel for Biosurfactants
| Acronym | VALOR-BIOSURF (Reference Number: 114724) |
| Duration | 01/01/2021 - 01/07/2023 |
| Project Topic | PeelPioneers and Holiferm want to develop a sophorolipid biosurfactant that (a) contributes to the Circular Economy by using streams from valorised orange peel instead of petrochemical products or food-competitive feedstocks and (b) will be produced cost-effectively such as to obtain a notable bulk surfactant market share. The partners will deliver a pilot production process for sophorolipid biosurfactant allowing for product application testing together with formulated-product manufacturers. |
