“…Alkyl polyglucosides (AGs) are nonionic surfactants derived from glycosylation of fatty alcohols with monosaccharides, and display good performance when used in detergents. Among different AGs, 2ethylhexyl glucoside is readily biodegradable and not persistent, and is especially used in degreasing hard surfaces or washing up (Geerts et al, 2021). The canonical method for synthesis of 2-ethylhexyl glucoside is the Fischer glycosylation process in which glucose of different degree of polymerization reacts with alcohols under the catalysis of an acid catalyst (Geerts et al, 2021).…”

2-Ethylhexanol is a versatile platform chemical with extensive applications in various elds. Currently, 2ethylhexanol is exclusively produced from petroleum resources. However, the increased market demand for it and the depletion of fossil resources would entail the production of 2-ethylhexanol in a more sustainable way. Production of 2-ethylhexanol from renewable lignocellulosic biomass could be an alternative pathway. Here, we reviewed the applications of 2-ethylhexanol in different elds, with a focus on the renewable production of bio-based fuels, plasticizer, lubricant and surfactant from 2-ethylhexanol. Moreover, the possible pathways for renewable production of 2-ethylhexanol from lignocellulosic biomass are also discussed. Finally, future perspectives on renewable production of 2-ethylhexanol are also provided.

“…The studied APGs consist of a hydrophobic alkyl chain and a (oligo)saccharide hydrophilic fraction linked through a glucosidic bond. (Geerts et al, 2021). Some researchers mention that the length of the alkyl chain is one of the factors that have a signi cant in uence on surfactant properties (Geetha & Tyagi, 2012;Smułek et al, 2016).…”

The current research focused on the use of a binary amphiphile/solvent mixture consisting of a natural surfactant (alkylpolyglucoside) and the green solvent ethyl lactate (EL) as an active compound for the formulation of a new ecological detergent, to improve the conditions of the washing process as temperature, pH, lipase integration, type of surfactant and detergent dose, to remove fat and dirt from natural fiber surfaces effectively. The best conditions for residual fat percentage <0.37% were achieved at 25 °C, pH 9, and using 0.3% detergent doses without lipase. The study also found that pH and the interaction between pH and surfactant type significantly influenced the percentage of residual fat. All the estimated results mean that the detergent obtained has excellent cleaning properties because there is a strong interaction between the alkylpolyglucoside/ethyl lactate binary mixture, which has a positive effect on reducing the percentage of residual fat and dirt and suggests its use potential in the formulation of green detergents for washing natural and synthetic textile fibers as a replacement for detergents based on ethoxylated fatty alcohols.

Alkyl polyglycosides (APGs), based on renewable glucose and fatty alcohols, are recognized for their performance and biodegradability. Hydrotropic/solubilizing effect properties have already been identified on short‐chain variants such as hexyl and ethylhexyl, but these ingredients were not fully bio‐based. This study investigated the hydrotropic/solubilizing properties of eco‐designed 100% bio‐based heptyl glucoside, under various conditions, compared to industrial and personal care benchmarks and other short chain APGs. Foaming power was firstly evaluated at different temperatures with two static methods. Hydrotropic performance was assessed with a commonly used surfactant in the presence of high electrolyte, acid and alkali concentrations. Further trials were done using ethoxylated rapeseed oil as an oil lubricant model in electrolyte‐charged aqueous solution. The solubilizing effect of hydrophobic additives such as fragrances, essential oils and vitamin E was quantified. Finally, effects on formulation preservation were screened with two natural personal care preservatives. Heptyl glucoside was found to be an effective and versatile hydrotrope for industrial applications, with additional intrinsic lubrication properties. It was also revealed as an efficient solubilizer for personal care products with the additional benefit of reducing the preservative dosage required in natural formulations. Its unusual non‐foaming nature, while not disrupting the foaming capacity of surfactants, makes it suitable for all types of cleansers. The calculated carbon footprint has a low value, making heptyl glucoside a valuable ingredient combining both performance and low environmental impact.
