Abstract
The invention relates to a process for the production of esterquats in which triglycerides are transesterified with alkanolamines and the resulting fatty acid alkanolamine esters are subsequently quaternized with alkyl halides or dialkyl sulfates in the presence of solvents, characterized in that glycerol released during the transesterification is continuously removed from the reaction equilibrium.
