A method for the production of a rhamnolipid. The method includes culturing in a fermentation medium an organism capable of producing a rhamnolipid to form a fermentation broth comprising at least one rhamnolipid and having a pH&#x3e;5; extracting at least one lipophilic impurity from said fermentation broth; acidulating said fermentation broth to form an aqueous medium of pH&#x3c;5 comprising the at least one rhamnolipid; extracting the at least one rhamnolipid from said acidulated fermentation broth; and separating the at least one rhamnolipid to obtain a purified rhamnolipid.

Method for the production of a rhamnolipid

Methods for production of a bioproduct with a microorganism and selective extraction of bioproducts from a fermentation broth. The methods may include mixing a carbon source, a nitrogen source, and an extractant-depleted raffinate to form a fermentation medium, and fermenting the medium with a microorganism to form a fermentation broth having at least one bioproduct. The bioproduct may be extracted from the fermentation broth with an extractant comprising an olefin to form an extract and a raffinate, and the extract may be further separated from the raffinate. The bioproduct may then be separated from the extract, and the extractant may be separated from the raffinate to regenerate the extract-depleted raffinate.
