Abstract
The present invention relates to dehydrated dextrose monohydrate having a specific surface area of from 0.20 m2/g to 0.50 m2/g and is reducing the reaction time for preparing chemical compounds selected from the group consisting of alkyl glucoside, alkenyl glucoside, alkyl polyglucosides and alkenyl polyglucosides in a heterogeneous mixture with an alcohol. The present invention further discloses a process for preparing dehydrated dextrose monohydrate and a process for preparing chemical compounds selected from the group consisting of alkyl glucoside, alkenyl glucoside, alkyl polyglucosides and alkenyl polyglucosides by applying dehydrated dextrose monohydrate.
Claims20
A dehydrated dextrose monohydrate characterized in that it has a specific surface area of from 0.20 m2/g to 0.50 m2/g and it reduces the reaction time for preparing a chemical compound selected from the group consisting of alkyl glucoside, alkenyl glucoside, alkyl polyglucosides and alkenyl polyglucosides in a heterogeneous mixture with an alcohol.
A process for preparing dehydrated dextrose monohydrate by drying dextrose monohydrate under conditions such that said dehydrated dextrose monohydrate has a specific surface area of from 0.20 m2/g to 0.50 m2/g and it reduces the reaction time for preparing, in a heterogeneous reaction with said dehydrated dextrose monohydrate and an alcohol, a chemical compound selected from the group consisting of alkyl glucoside alkenyl glucoside, alkyl polyglucosides and alkenyl polyglucosides, said process comprises:
- a) providing dextrose monohydrate,
- b) drying dextrose monohydrate at a temperature between 50 to 150° C., and
- c) collecting said dehydrated dextrose monohydrate.
