The invention discloses a synthesis method of
starch-based N-butyl glucose lauramide used as a surfactant, which comprises the following steps of: adding water to
starch to prepare
starch milk, regulating the pH value, adding
calcium chloride and
amylase, heating in a water bath to enable the starch to be subjected to
liquefaction reaction, inactivating enzymes at high temperature after complete
liquefaction, regulating the pH value, adding saccharifying enzymes, heating in the water bath, carrying out saccharification, inactivating enzymes at high temperature, cooling and filtering to obtain a hydrolyzed glucose solution; adding the hydrolyzed glucose solution and n-
butylamine by the amino-
sugar ratio, adding water, a color resisting agent and a
polymer rhodium catalyst simultaneously, heating while stirring, controlling the pH value of the
system, and carrying out
amination to prepare N-butyl
glucosamine; and adding aminate and
lauric acid, adding
aminoacylase simultaneously, heating while stirring, controlling the pH value of the
system, and carrying out acidylation to prepare the N-butyl glucose lauramide. The invention has the advantages of simple process, low cost and high utilization ratio of raw materials and the product has low
surface tension, excellent foaming performance, no
toxicity and no stimulation and can be biologically degraded easily.
