text
Glucose + Lauryl Alcohol → Lauryl Glucoside + Water
(C6H12O6) (C12H26O) (C18H36O6) (H2O)
Description: Lauryl Glucoside is produced by the glycosidation reaction of lauryl alcohol with glucose under acidic conditions. This reaction forms a glycosidic bond between the sugar molecule and the fatty alcohol. The process uses 100% renewable feedstocks: glucose from corn starch and lauryl alcohol from coconut or palm oil. The result is a mild, biodegradable, non-ionic surfactant with excellent performance.
