The transalkylglycosylation process is also called a two-step process. First, a reaction between glucose and a lower alcohol produces a low-carbon chain glycoside, and an alcohol exchange reaction between a lower-carbon chain glycoside and a higher-carbon alcohol produces a high-carbon chain glycoside. The method better solves the problem of compatibility of glucose and higher alcohol among raw materials, makes synthesis easier to implement, and overcomes the disadvantages of caramel production during direct glycosidation, but the process is complicated, and low carbon glycosides and high The conversion of carbon glycosides is generally not very complete.

Among the series of alkyl glycosides, alkyl glycosides are particularly effective as a nonionic surfactant for the removal of oily soils. The use of alkyl glycosides in laundry detergents has the following advantages:

Alkyl polyglycoside surfactant, synthesized from renewable resources natural fatty alcohol and glucose, is a new comprehensive nonionic surfactant with both nonionic and anionic surfactants and high surface activity. Good ecological safety and compatibility are internationally recognized as the preferred "green" functional surfactants.

In the world of the cosmetics industry, surfactants with a wide variety of properties and different properties are playing an increasingly important role. The 21st century cosmetics industry will fully integrate the high-tech achievements of various contemporary disciplines, and the variety, performance and safety of products will be further improved.
