PROCESS FOR PREPARING ALKYL AND/OR ALKENYL OLIGOGLYCOSIDES

摘要

A process for making alkyl and/or alkenyl oligoglycosides involving: (a) providing a glucose syrup; (b) providing a fatty alcohol; (c) combining the glucose syrup with the fatty alcohol in order to form a glucose syrup/fatty alcohol suspension; (d) providing an acidic cataylst; (e) adding the acidic catalyst to the glucose syrup/fatty alcohol suspension; and (f) acetalizing the glucose syrup/fatty alcohol suspension containing the acidic catalyst to form the alkyl and/or alkenyl oligoglycosides.
