Abstract

Danas se u industriji i proizvodnji sve više primjenjuje zelena kemija. Time se izbjegava upotreba kemijskih proizvoda i toksičnih otapala, te je veći naglasak na zaštitu okoliša i održivi razvoj. Biokataliza se može smatrati "zelenom kemijom" stoga se sve više primjenjuju biokatalitički procesi u industriji. U ovom radu, osim same biokatalize, opisani su i enzimi, njihova klasifikacija te primjena. U skladu sa zelenom kemijom predstavljeni su i soforolipidi, kao poznati biosurfaktanati koji se koriste zbog svoje minimalne ekotoksičnosti, visoke biorazgradivosti te dobre biokompatibilnosti. Soforolipidi pronalaze primjenu u raznim područjima industrije (farmaceutska, kemijska, prehrambena, kozmetička, poljoprivredna), u medici u liječenju raka, kao imunomodulatori i antivirusi, te u nanotehnologiji. U radu su predstavljene njihove prednosti i nedostaci, struktura te mogućnosti modifikacija. Također se opisuje i primjer dobivanja soforolipida procesom izolacije i pročišćivanja.

Abstract (english)

Today, "green chemistry" has been increasingly applied in industry and manufacturing, which avoids chemical products and toxic solvents, emphasizing environmental protection and sustainable development. Biocatalysis is considered "green chemistry"; therefore, biocatalytic processes are increasingly applied in industry. In addition to biocatalysis, enzymes are also discussed in this work, along with their classification and where they are mainly used. Under the process of "green chemistry", sophorolipids (also known as biosurfactants), used due to their minimal ecotoxicity, high biodegradability, and good biocompatibility, are also described. Sophorolipids are utilized in various ways: industry (pharmaceutical, chemical, food, cosmetic, agricultural), cancer treatments (acting as immunomodulators and antivirals), and nanotechnology. This work explains advantages and disadvantages, structure, and modification of sophorolipids. Also, the method of obtaining sophorolipids by undergoing the process of isolation and purification is described.
