Carbohydrate-based surfactants (CBS) are an important class of amphiphilic compounds containing both hydrophilic and lipophilic moieties. These natural surfactants are biosynthesized within living cells and also easily can be prepared synthetically from the most abundant carbohydrate-rich renewable vegetable raw materials such as cellulose, pectin, hemicellulose, starch, etc. and fatty materials by sequential reactions. Extensive exploitation of non-renewable fossil fuels such as coal, petroleum; natural gas etc. damages the human and ecological health with significant contribution in overall pollution, thus the quest for novel methods and strategies has been accelerated to replace the conventional non-renewable fossil fuel sources with renewable, biodegradable, as well as sustainable sources for surfactant production. In this scenario, carbohydrate surfactants are of great interest because they are naturally abundant, biocompatible, highly biodegradable, and not noxious for the environment, which makes them an excellent alternative to surfactants from petrochemical sources.
