A Detergent Prepared from Iminodiacetate Derivatives of Fats and Polymucosaccharides from Base Hydrolyzates of Protein-Containing Waste

Abstract

A promising nontoxic and environmentally safe detergent consisting of sodium salts of iminodiacetate derivatives of fatty acid tri- and diglycerides and acetate derivatives of polymucosaccharides was synthesized, and its composition and structure were studied. Fractions consisting of fats, sodium salts of polymucosaccharides, and sodium salts of α-amino acids, obtained from liquid base hydrolyzates of protein-containing waste, served as feedstock. Polymucosaccharide derivatives coordinate tri- and diglyceride derivatives along the chains via hydrogen bonds to form host–guest complexes with the hydrocarbon radicals directed toward different sides. When dissolved, the complexes form thread-like particles incorporating biphilic molecules, wetting agents, and complexones.
