Abstract
Candida lipolytica IA 1055 produced an extracellular emulsifier when using babassu oil as its sole carbon source during batch and fed batch fermentati ons at 27 degrees C. Emulsification activity was detected after 60 h of gro wth in all conditions studied. The bioemulsifier was isolated after 144 h o f fermentation from the best condition studied. The biopolymer seems to be a polysaccharide-protein-lipid complex.
