Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to novel surfactants based on readily available materials, i.e., glyceric acid. In particular, it relates to novel N-alkylglyceramide surfactants having the formula <IMAGE> wherein R is a C8-C24 straight or branch-chained, saturated or unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon. These surfactants can be used in detergent compositions as surfactants together with cosurfactants to greatly enhance foam stability of the detergent compositions.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
67 words
A detergent composition comprising a detergent active system comprising a cosurfactant and alkyl glyceramide having the formula: ##STR4## wherein R is a C 8 or greater than about C 8 straight-chain, saturated or unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon; wherein said alkylglyceramide comprises 25-90% by wt. of the active system and the balance of the active system comprises a cosurfactant which cosurfactant is an alkali metal alkyl sulfate anionic surfactant.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
67 words
A detergent composition comprising a detergent active system comprising a cosurfactant and alkyl glyceramide having the formula: ##STR4## wherein R is a C 8 or greater than about C 8 straight-chain, saturated or unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon; wherein said alkylglyceramide comprises 25-90% by wt. of the active system and the balance of the active system comprises a cosurfactant which cosurfactant is an alkali metal alkyl sulfate anionic surfactant.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
13 words
A Composition according to claim 1, wherein the cosurfactant is sodium dodecyl sulfate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
82 words
A detergent compositions comprising a detergent active system comprising a cosurfactant and alkyl glyceramide having the formula: ##STR5## wherein R is a C 8 or greater than about C 8 straight chain, saturated or unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon interrupted by a heteroatom selected from the group consisting of oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur; wherein said alkylglyceramide comprises 25-90% by wt. of the active system and the balance of the active system comprises a cosurfactant which cosurfactant is an alkali metal alkyl sulfate anionic surfactant.
