Abstract

A series of disodium alkyl monoglucoside citric monoesters (AG-EC) were synthesized with an indirect method using glucosides, lauryl/decyl/octyl alcohol and citric acid. The structure and composition of the synthesized surfactants were defined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC/MS). The surface properties, foaming ability and wetting ability were investigated. AG-EC surfactants exhibited excellent water solubility which eliminated the defect of long-chain alkyl glucoside. All three surfactants showed high surface activities. AG12-EC and AG10-EC showed remarkable foaming abilities in distilled water and hard water. Aqueous solutions of AG-EC surfactants spread slowly on a parafilm surface.
