Alkyl glucamides

SPECTROMETRY—IV. NON-IONIC SURFACTANTS LC-MS OF ALKYL POLYGLUCOSIDES AND ALKYL GLUCAMIDES... 

Alkyl polyglucosides (APG) and alkyl glucamides (AG) are non-ionic surfactants produced on the basis of renewable feedstocks such as glucose and fatty alcohols, which are derived from starch and palm oil, respectively. 

Quite often the most crucial parameter for SPE of compounds for which no enrichment techniques for environmental samples can be found in the literature is the selection of the proper SPE material. For example, during extraction of the two non-ionic surfactants, alkyl glucamides (AGs) and alkyl polyglucosides (APGs) from a spiked WWTP effluent (5 xgL-1) using RP-C18 cartridges, it was found that this material was unsuitable for quantitative enrichment (recovery <30%). Satisfactory results were obtained using PS-DVB material (Lichrolut EN) [45] (Table 3.1.2). 

Aminosugars are the basic compounds of a new class of highly biodegradable detergents based on re-growing resources . Alkyl glucamides (AGs) (e.g. C12/i4-A -methyl glucamides) are one of the main...
