A chloride-n-trimethide chitose quaternary ammonium salt is characterized by the molecular formula is (C8H13NO5)n (C8H17NO4)m-x (C9H20NO4Cl)x, n=0.07-0.19, x=0.39-0.75, n+m+x=1. The production is carried out by expanding dissolving chitose into 1-methyl-2- pyrrolidone, adding sodium iodide, adding iodomethane, keeping temperature 50-65deg.C, agitating reacting, reacting liquid cooling, precipitating settling, washing deposit matter with acetone methyl - water solution, dissolving the deposit matter into water, dripping chlorhydric acid - alcohol solution and ion exchanging, adding acetone methyl into reacting liquid, washing the deposit matter, dissolving into water, adding into acetone methyl and settling, washing with acetone methyl - water solution, washing with acetone methyl, and drying. It achieves low cost, simple operation, and good water soluble performance.
