Details : Germany - based plant Q4 2026
This report provides an extensive cost evaluation of sophorolipids production by fermentation method. The production process of sophorolipids is initiated by fermenting dual lipophilic substrates or DLS. Initially, the DLS content comprising of oleic acid and palm oil (termed as the waste frying oil) is fermented in the presence of Starmerella bombicola (a yeast variety). The fermentation of the DLS leads to the conversion of the substrate into sophorolipids, which is then filtered and purified to obtain the final product.

Feedstock for Sophorolipids
Sophorolipids are biosurfactants synthesized by using dual lipophilic substrates (DLS) that serve as their primary feedstocks. The procurement of sophorolipids is majorly dependent upon some factors, including the availability of its feedstock (including palm oil and oleic acid for dual lipophilic substrate or DLS production), along with the demand observed for sophorolipids in food, agricultural, and pharmaceutical operations, etc. Moreover, other factors, such as the variation in its market prices and production cost, as well as the trading, transportation, and supply of sophorolipids across the borders, also impact its procurement on a large scale. Similarly, prominent factors such as the economic and governmental policies directly govern its procurement worldwide.
