FIELD OF INVENTION
[0001] Green (eco-friendly) and multifunctional cationic glycine betaine derivative compounds having surfactant and antimicrobial properties, in particular ester and amide derivatives, including alkyl(ene) betainate methane sulfonates and betainyl amino alkyl(ene) methane sulfonates, in semi-pure and crude mixtures and pure form, are described. Such compounds are includable in various household compositions to optimize solubilization, wetting, cleaning, emulsification of various oils and soils, and to provide effective antimicrobial properties. Further modification of compositions containing such derivatives is also provided through combination of the glycine betaine derivative(s) and sodium chloride to obtain thickening or gelling of the composition.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Glycine betaine (GB) (Formula 1 below) is a natural and inexpensive product derived from sugar beet molasses and constitutes a prime raw material for the preparation of biodegradable and...
