PCT No. PCT/EP94/03253 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 8, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 8, 1996 PCT Filed Sep. 29, 1994 PCT Pub. No. WO95/10500 PCT Pub. Date Apr. 20, 1995A process for producing quaternized fatty acid triethanolamine ester salts having improved solubility in water, by esterifiying a fatty acid mixture containing a) 40% to 60% by weight of linear fatty acids containing 6 to 22 carbon atoms, and b) 60% to 40% by weight of branched fatty acids containing 6 to 22 carbon atoms, wherein the esterifying step is conducted with triethanolamine or ethylene oxide adducts of triethanolamine, and the resultant esters are then quaternized.
