Implication

Narrative review demonstrates the biological activities and functional properties of Bacillus lipopeptides in food systems, highlighting their viability as natural preservatives and emulsifiers.

Key Points

To synthesize current evidence on the types, synthesis, and biological properties of Bacillus-derived lipopeptide biosurfactants and evaluate their practical applications in food processing and human health.
Synthesized published literature regarding the structural classification, production, and biochemical mechanisms of lipopeptides produced by Bacillus species.
Evaluated functional evidence detailing biological activities, such as antimicrobial, antidiabetic, and antitumor effects, alongside surface-tension reduction and emulsification.
Categorized the primary Bacillus lipopeptides into four distinct structural families: surfactins, fengycins, bacillomycins, and lichenysins.
Identified pronounced interfacial, emulsification, and antimicrobial capabilities that qualitatively improve food stability, safety, and shelf life.
Demonstrated versatile cross-industry applications ranging from food preservation and skincare to therapeutic roles in metabolic disease and oncology.
