Alkyl polyglycosides (APGs) are a class of non-ionic surfactants widely used in a variety of cosmetic, household, and industrial applications.
Biodegradable and plant-derived from sugars, these surfactants are usually glucose derivatives, and fatty alcohols.
The raw materials are typically starch and fat, and the final products are typically complex mixtures of compounds with different sugars comprising the hydrophilic end and alkyl groups of variable length comprising the hydrophobic end.
When derived from glucose, they are known as alkyl polyglucosides.
A family of chemicals, Alkyl Polyglucosides have applications ranging from household to industrial.
Alkyl polyglycosides are generally plant derived from sugars, hence the glucose in the polyglucoside name.
Alkyl Polyglucoside is a mild, naturally derived non-ionic ‘Green’ surfactant in a liquid form and is completely biodegradable.

Alkyl polyglycoside (APG) is a green surfactant with excellent interfacial activity, emulsified ability, foaming performance and wettability, which has great potential in enhancing heavy oil recovery at high-temperature and high-salinity condition.
In this paper, surface tension, interfacial tension, emulsifying ability, emulsion stability and emulsified oil droplet size were investigated for APG.
Besides, the effect of temperature and salinity on interfacial activity and emulsification properties of APG was also studied.
The results showed that APG had excellent interfacial activity and emulsification property among all these surfactants.
Besides, the interfacial activity and emulsification properties of APG almost did not decrease, and even got better along with the increasing temperature or salinity, while those of other surfactants became worse in different degree.
The incremental oil recovery by using APG at 90 °C and the salinity of 30 g/L can reach to 10.1% which is nearly two times higher than that of common EOR surfactants.
These results indicated that APG is an efficient surfactant for enhancing heavy oil recovery at high-temperature and high-salinity condition.
Alkyl polyglucoside is used as active ingredients, it can make all kinds of detergent for different using.
Alkyl polyglucoside with phosphoric acid, oxalic acid, and sodium carbonate, match into a mixture with water, can be used as automobile and machinery industrial detergents.
But also Alkyl polyglycosides prevent iron metal to be oxidized and acid corrosion.
Alkyl PolyGlycosides (APG) are obtained by glycosylation of a reducing sugar with an excess of molten fatty alcohol.
The reaction produces water, which is progressively eliminated, as well as Alkyl PolyGlycosides.
Excess fatty alcohol, whether of long or short chain, is either retained or evaporated depending on the properties desired for the final surfactant.
At Seppic, the biomass residues generated during the production of emulsifiers (long chain fatty alcohols) are recycled into electricity and natural fertilizers for agriculture by a methanization process.

Is Alkyl Polyglucoside gluten free?
Alkyl Polyglucoside is gluten free and widely used in gluten free food to provide to .
Why is Alkyl Polyglucoside gluten free?
To answer this question, we need to clarify another question: what is gluten.
Gluten is protein composite found in wheat and related grains, including barley and rye.
First, gluten is a protein.
Second, gluten is mainly found in wheat and related grains.
As we mentioned before, Alkyl Polyglucoside is which is significantly different from protein.
Raw materials used in manufacturing of Alkyl Polyglucoside are ; Alkyl Polyglucoside barely includes gluten impurity.
So, Alkyl Polyglucoside is gluten free.
How is Alkyl Polyglucoside used in gluten free food?
Alkyl Polyglucoside is widely used in to provide to .
Alkyl Polyglucoside is usually used in processed food rather than daily recipe.
Why should you go Gluten free?
Celiac disease: Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease that attacks the small intestine due to the presence of gluten, for which a gluten-free diet is the only medically-accepted treatment.
In 2009 research showed between 0.5 and 1.0 percent of people in the US and UK are sensitive to gluten due to celiac disease.
So people with Celiac disease have to stick to gluten free diet to avoid unexpected side effect caused by consumption of gluten.
Non-celiac gluten sensitivity: Some people may be sensitive to gluten but do not have celiac disease and feel better on a diet with less gluten.
However, there are no specific symptoms confirmed.
Non-celiac gluten sensitivity also drives more people to gluten free diet when people believe that they feel better when eating gluten free.

Preparation and characterization of microemulsions consisting of a plant-derived alkyl polyglycoside (APG) surfactant and the essential oil of Melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree) was studied.
This nonionic APG surfactant used was Triton CG-110 with a CMC at 1748 ppm at 25 ◦C.
Tea tree oil (TTO) was extracted from tea tree leaves by Triton CG-110-assisted hydrodistillation method.
The preparation of the microemulsion was aided by the construction of pseudo-ternary phase diagrams, which were investigated at the different weight ratios of surfactant mixtures (Smix = Triton CG-110/PPG) as 0.6:1, 1.8:1, 1:0 with hydrodistilled and commercial TTO by water titration method at room temperature.
Particularly, structure of microemulsion was identified by electrical conductivity and viscosity.
Moreover, shelf stability of some microemulsion made of 1% TTO with various concentration of Triton CG-110/PPG (1.8:1 w/w) were monitored for over a two-month period with dynamic light scattering.
These results showed that microemulsion made of 1% TTO, 9% Triton CG-110/PPG (1.8:1 w/w) was insensitive with time and temperature of storage.

Alkyl polyglycoside: a biodegradable surfactant
The glucose in alkyl polyglycoside is derived from plants.
As such, APG is biodegradable and environmentally-friendly.
This makes alkyl polyglycoside the green alternative for other surfactants, such as nonyl phenol ethoxylates (NPEs) and alcohol ethoxylates.
APG is nonionic surfactant that is perfect for the formulation of personal care products and cleaning agents.
Alkyl polyglycoside is used in the formulation of many cosmetics as it is mild and safe for sensitive skin.
Alkyl polyglycoside also offers good foaming and wetting properties, as well as low surface tension.
That is why APG is used in products such as:
-Laundry detergent
-Shampoo
-Body wash
-All-purpose cleaners
-Hand sanitizers
Alkyl polyglucoside is a mild surfactant used in household and commercial cleaning products.
Alkyl polyglycoside is known for Alkyl polyglycosides foam boosting ability, lack of streaking and easy rinsing.
Alkyl polyglycoside primarily acts as a surfactant.
Alkyl polyglycoside helps emulsify various products (i.e. lotions, crèmes, cleansers) and makes them easier to spread over the skin.
The formulation of Alkyl polyglycoside also reduces the total amount of other surfactants without sacrificing the product’s performance.
Also, because Alkyl polyglycoside’s obtained from renewable sources (i.e. fatty oils and acids), Alkyl polyglycoside is environmentally friendly.
Completely biodegradable, both aerobically and anaerobically.
Alkyl polyglycoside Storage and Handling
If crystallization or sedimentation occurs when stored at temperature below 15°C, the product can be heated and stirred until uniform before use.
The maximum storage temperature is 40°C.
Alkyl polyglucoside (APG) is an excellent glyphosate adjuvant with good environmental credentials, but has well known problems with foam production.
Alkyl polyglycoside offers superior low foam reduction, effective spray retention and spreading aid properties.
Alkyl polyglycoside also works well as a humectant and demonstrates good electrolyte tolerance.
Alkyl polyglycoside Functions:
Adjuvant – glyphosate adjuvant
Adjuvant – humectant
Adjuvant – Spray retention aid
Adjuvant – Spreading aid
Electrolyte tolerant surfactant
Wetting agent
Alkyl polyglycoside is a widely used cleaning agent, or “surfactant,” that is derived from sugar, and can be found in many household cleaning products.
Alkyl polyglycoside removes dirt by loosening it from a surface.
Alkyl polyglycoside also aids streak-free cleaning.
Alkyl polyglycoside Development Process
APGs are produced by reacting fatty alcohols and glucose obtained from corn, coconut or palm oil.
The synthesis can be done in a one-step or two-step process using butanol to form a butylglucoside, which then reacts with the fatty alcohol to produce APG.
Lubrizol produced the first commercialized glucoside sold for personal care use called Glucate SS (Methyl Glucoside Sesquistearate).
Alkyl polyglycoside was produced by reacting methanol with glucose followed by an esterification with stearic acid.
Arachidyl proprionate (or glucoside) is NOT derived from peanuts (Arachis hypogaea).
Therefore, use of this ingredient in cosmetic products does not represent an allergy concern for children (or adults) with peanut allergies.
Alkyl glucosides consist of alkyl groups bound to glucose in the D-glycopyranoside form.
The glucose portion of the compound may consist of mono-, di-, tri-, oligo- or polysaccharides.
For example, Decyl Glucoside with a degree of polymerization of 1.6 is a mixture of decyl monosaccharide (glucopyranoside) and decyl disaccharide (also called maltopyranoside).
These ingredients are generally sold as aqueous solutions containing 50-65% of the ingredient.

The major class of sugar-based surfactants is alkyl polyglycosides.
Alkyl polyglycosides are characterised by a saccharide unit and a hydrophobic alkyl chain.
These surfactants differ in the alkyl chain length, both linear and mono-branched, and in the degree of polymerisation (DP) of the saccharide.
The biodegradation pathway of alkyl polyglycosides has not been elucidated.
Polyglycoside alkanoic acids, possible intermediates of ω- and β-oxidation of the alkyl chain, were not detected during degradation of alkyl polyglycosides in a fixed-bed reactor.
Based on this finding, Eichhorn et al.
hypothesised that alkyl polyglycosides are degraded through a central cleavage.
Central cleavage results in the formation of saccharides and fatty acids.
The alkyl polyglycosides tested are biodegraded in excess of 60% in the Sturm and Closed Bottle tests.

The high level of stability across a wide pH range and exceptional flexibility and polyfunctionality of these non-ionic surfactants mean that they can be used in an enormous variety of home care and industrial & institutional (I&I) hard surface cleaners.
Belonging to the class of nonionic surfactants, the alkyl polyglucosides enable excellent compatibility in different formulation matrices.
These properties of Alkyl polyglycoside allow a variety of application areas in the Home Care and I&I segments.
Especially in hard surface cleaning, where different types of soils are present, the alkyl polyglucosides offer extraordinary cleaning efficiency on the wide range of stain types encountered in this type of cleaning, and are safe on almost all surfaces.
Alkyl polyglycoside can be incorporated into formulations that are acidic (such as bathroom and power cleaners), neutral (such as allpurpose and floor cleaners or wipes) and alkaline (such as kitchen or power cleaners).
This flexibility in formulation means that manufacturers can use one ingredient for multiple product lines, reducing complexity in the handling of raw materials.
EFFICIENT HARD SURFACE CLEANING
Modern hard surface cleaners have to be tough on dirt but kind to surfaces, leaving them shiny and free from residues.
The APG sugar surfactants offer extraordinary cleaning efficiency, whether used singly or in combination with other surfactants.
The cleaning performance of APG has been evaluated through consumer-relevant methods such as the Gardner test.
In this evaluation APG showed a soil removal capability of an oily soil of up to 70 percent in comparison to other nonionic surfactants.
Moreover this score was achieved even without any further additions.
APG is also compatible with all kind of surfactants and it shows synergistic effects with them, meaning that their cleaning performance can be further enhanced by the addition of other non-ionic surfactants and/or other components.
Alkyl polyglycosides high cleaning performance level is also virtually unaffected by changes in the pH value.
Preparation of Alkyl polyglycoside:
Alkyl glycosides are produced by combining a sugar such as glucose with a fatty alcohol in the presence of acid catalysts at elevated temperatures.
