Alkyl Polyglycosides in Hard Surface Cleaners and Laundry Detergents

Synthesis and Surface Properties of N-Alkyl-N-methylgluconamides and N-Alkyl-N-methyllactobionamides

“…Saccharide surfactants based on renewable resources are used in newly developed surfactant systems, e.g., detergents (1), dishwashing and cleaning products (2), and cosmetics (3). They show improved performance, favorable ecotoxicological properties (4), reduced environmental impact (4,5), and 1 To whom correspondence should be addressed at Institute of Organic and Polymer Technology, Wroc l aw University of Technology, Wybrzeże S.
