The objective of my dissertation focuses on high-protein plant extracts as sources of biosurfactants. Biosurfactants are natural surface-active compounds with an amphiphilic structure, capable of reducing surface tension. Thanks to their properties, they can become a good alternative to their synthetic counterparts. The use of appropriate chemical and enzymatic modifications of plant extracts is intended to explore their potential as natural surfactants for industrial applications.
