Abstract:
A process for the production of sugar surfactant granules with a sugar surfactant content in a range from 70 to 85 weight %, which comprises: simultaneously drying and granulating, in a fluidized bed, with air as the fluidizing medium, an aqueous paste comprising at least one sugar surfactant selected from the group consisting of alkyloligoglycoside, alkenyloligoglycoside and fatty acid N-alkyl polyhydroxyalkylamide in contact with at least one inorganic member selected from the group consisting of zeolite and waterglass and optionally a surfactant selected from the group consisting of anionic surfactants, nonionic surfactants and mixtures thereof wherein the nonionic suractant is not the at least one sugar surfactant.
