The surface active properties of aHphatic amine oxides were discovered ia the 1930s and the wetting, detergent, emulsion, and foam stabilizing properties were published shortiy thereafter (42). However, the use of amine oxides was not significant until Procter and Gamble started usiag them ia household products around 1960 (43—46). 

The major producers of fatty amine oxides are Jordon Chemical Company, Procter and Gamble, Lonza, Stepan, Sherex Chemicals, and Akzo Chemicals Inc. It is estimated that 13,600 t of amine oxides were purchased for end use ia the Uoited States ia 1987 (68). Of this amouat arouad 80% was coasumed ia various household products, and 10% ia iadustrial, iastitutioaal, and commercial appHcations. These figures do not iaclude the estimated 27,000 —32,000 t of amine oxides produced by Procter and Gamble for captive use.
