Optimization of an Alkylpolyglucoside‐Based Dishwashing Detergent Formulation

Abstract

The aim of this work was to formulate and optimize the washing performance of an alkylpolyglucoside-based dishwashing detergent. The liquid detergent was formulated with five ingredients of commercial origin: anionic (linear sodium alkylbenzenesulfonate and sodium laurylethersulfate), nonionic (C 12 -C 14 alkylpolyglucoside) and zwitterionic (a fatty acid amide derivative with a betaine structure) surfactants, and NaCl for viscosity control. In addition to the plate test, other properties were investigated including ''cloud point'', viscosity, and emulsion stability. Statistical analysis software was used to generate a central composite experimental design. Then, a second order design and analysis of experiments approach, known as the Response Surface Methodology, was set up to investigate the effects of the five components of the formulation on the studied properties in the region covering plausible component ranges. The method proved to be efficient for locating the domains of concentrations where the desired properties were met.

Supercritical carbon dioxide blackcurrant seed extract as an anti-irritant additive for hand dishwashing liquids

“…They are used due to their beneficial foaming properties, high washing power and easy modification of the viscosity of the product in which they are used (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13). Auxiliary surfactants used in HDLs include mainly nonionic compounds (fatty alcohol ethoxylates, alkanolamides, alkyl polyglucosides) and amphoteric compounds (alkylamidopropyl betaines) (7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13). The primary role of auxiliary surfactants is usually to selectively improve specific product attributes related to both product functionality and safety of use (7,11).…”

“…The presence of such additives typically lowers the critical micellization concentration, increases the size of micelles (hindering their penetration into the skin) and stabilizes them thermodynamically (reducing the number of micellar aggregate decompositions). The above processes entail a decrease in monomer concentration in the solution, which reduces the potential for skin irritation (6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13).…”

Improvement in the Safety of Use of Hand Dishwashing Liquids Through the Addition of Hydrophobic Plant Extracts

“…They found that both the monomers and micelles were able to penetrate into the epidermis [7]. One of the potential means of preventing these adverse effects is the addition of co-surfactants [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27], hydrolyzed proteins [28][29][30] or polymers [30][31][32]. The action mechanisms of the additives involve an increase in micelle size or formation of appropriate complexes leading to a decreased concentration of free surfactant molecules in the solution [15,33].…”

Acylation of unprotected lactose with 1,18‐octadec‐9‐enedioyl chloride for the synthesis of monocatenary and bolaform agro‐based surfactants

“…Therefore, the properties of agro‐based surfactants can range from a water‐soluble (high HLB) to an oil‐soluble emulsifier (low HLB), depending on the nature of the sugar and fatty acids . Monocatenary agro‐based surfactants composed of a hydrophobic tail (fatty acid) linked to a polar head (sugar) are used as cleaning agents, or emulsifiers in food . Bolaforms encompass a hydrophobic chain and polar units at both ends .…”
