N-Acyl L-Glutamates (AG), RCONHCH(COO M+)CH2CHyCOO M+, M=H+ or Cation Produced by /V-acylation of L-glutamic acid with fatty acid chloride in a mixed solvent of water and water-miscible organic solvent. RCO is usually from coconut and tallow acids. AG is a dibasic acid, so both mono- and di-neutralized materials are possible. The carboxyl group at the a-position is neutralized prior to that at the y-position. The water solubility of monosodium AG is low, so organic amines, i.e., triethanolamine or diethanolamine, or K+ are used as counter-ions.
