	Sugar fatty acid esters represent a billion-dollar market with huge global demand. Although glucose and sucrose-based surfactants have prevailed in the chemical industry for decades, C-5-based esters are relatively unknown and have recently started to gain attention owing to their multifunctional properties. These molecules can be derived from cheap and inexpensive biomass/renewable resources and present promising potential with diverse applications as additives in various nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and cosmeceutical formulations. However, large-scale production of C-5 sugar esters is limited, with one or two commercial plants operating worldwide. This review highlights the major challenges and prospects of biotechnological production of the C-5 sugar esters, considering the possible advancements over existing technology with various aspects of industrial bioprocessing and product recovery.</p>
