ALKYLPOLYGLYCOSIDES WITH A HIGH DEGREE OF POLYMERISATION ANDA PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION THEREOF

摘要

The present invention relates to a process for preparing alkylpolyglycoside compositions. Specifically the process is a direct synthesis producing compositions of highly polymerized alkylpolyglycosides in high yield. The invention further relates to alkylpolyglycoside compositions having enhanced surfactant properties. The invention also relates to mixtures of alkylpolyglycosides of preselected average alkyl chain length and controlled average degree of polymerization (DP)
