Abstract
Process for the preparation of polycondensates of amino acids or of the polypeptide hydrolysates thereof, by bulk thermal polycondensation of amino acids in pulverulent medium, in the presence of phosphoric acid, phosphorus pentoxide or polyphosphoric acid (catalyst) which is uniformly distributed in the said pulverulent medium, optionally followed by hydrolysis. The said pulverulent medium may be obtained by empasting the amino acid and the catalyst with water, removal of the water and grinding. Use of polyimide polycondensates or the polypeptide hydrolysates thereof in detergent compositions.
