Synthesis of surfactants from cellulosic material through a biocatalyzed process. This novel process for the synthesis of surfactants does not require large amounts of energy nor organic solvents. This technology can decrease carbon dioxide emissions and reduce deforestation from palm plantations. Conventional surfact production is based on petrochemicals and seed oils, such as palm oil. Surfactant synthesis involves highly hazardous compounds to human health and the environment.
