6 Conclusion
This review gives information on biosurfactant properties, classification, source,
production, and application. Biosurfactants are greener when compared to chemical
or synthetic surfactants, but the harnessing of biosurfactant is expensive. Generally,
biosurfactants have a unique character as a result of this, and they gain priority for
different use, mainly for environmental applications. As a recommendation for
future research, it is better to work on it to make it readily available.
