Abstract
Fatty acid esters of methyl glycosides are prepared by reacting a fatty acid or ester with a methyl glycoside in the presence of an enzyme catalyst, in particular a lipase. The resulting fatty acid esters are preferably monoesters. The methyl glycoside fatty acid esters may be used as surface-active agents in cleaning compositions or personal care products.
