These ternary systems are very similar to classic water in oil microemulsions although they don’t have any amphiphilic surfactant. They were thus, initially called “surfactantless” or “detergentless” microemulsions. One of the main application fields that these systems cover is the one of biocatalysis in non-conventional media, a pillar of industrial biotechnology. The present article reviews the use of surfactantless microemulsions as effective non-conventional media for enzymatic biotransformations with a focus on oxidases, lipases and their relation to the system’s structure.}, journal={Current Opinion in Colloid and Interface Science}, publisher={Elsevier Ltd}, author={Xenakis A. and Zoumpanioti M. and Stamatis H.}, year={2016}, pages={41–45} }
