Abstract

A method of manufacturing alkyloligoglycosides. Alkyloligoglycosides and alkylglycosides having alkyl groups with 8 to 24 carbon atoms, which are of interest in home economics and in the cosmetics industry, can be manufactured by glycosidation and transglycosidation. Light-colored alkyloligoglycosides and alkylglycosides are manufactured from saccharides and alcohols by glycosidation and transglycosidation with the addition of polar polymeric complex-forming agents, and by bleaching of the final products with peroxides.
