Detergent containingα-sulfofatty acid esters and methods of making and using the same

摘要

The present invention includes a composition comprising an enriched mixture of α-sulfofatty acid esters. Increasing the concentration of specific chain length α-sulfofatty acid esters, relative to the proportions of the other chain lengths, allows the detergent compositions to exhibit an improved cleaning performance while simultaneously cleaning a wide variety of materials.
