GLUCOSIDE

Glucoside is a biodegradable surfactant and is aligned with the 10th principle of Green Chemistry "Design for Degradation".
A glucoside is a glycoside that is chemically derived from glucose. 
Glucosides are common in plants, but rare in animals.

Glucoside is produced when a glucoside is hydrolysed by purely chemical means, or decomposed by fermentation or enzymes.
Decyl Glucoside is an alkylglycoside non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier. 
Glucoside is commonly used in foaming and cleansing products, often by natural personal care companies due to being plant derived and biodegradable. 
Glucoside, also known as capryl/caprylyl glucoside, is derived from combination of coconut fatty alcohols and corn starch glucose.
Glucoside is a C8-C14 non-ionic, easily biodegradable, low irritating multipurpose surfactant. 
Glucoside is a cloudy, slightly viscous solution of C8-C16 fatty alcohol polyglycoside and belongs to the family of Alkyl Polyglucosides (APG’s). 
Glucoside is manufactured from renewable sources.
Glucoside is listed on ECOCERT and it is specifically designed to help formulators develop naturally oriented formulations.
Glucoside can be used as primary and co-surfactant for several applications.

Uses    
Glucoside can be used:
In the preparation of multilamellar vesicles as carriers for tretinoins and retinoids.
In the study of mineralization, leaching, and adsorption of glyphosate herbicide in the soil.
Glucoside is a nonionic surfactant used as a foamer, detergent, conditioner or emulsifier. 
Glucoside can be used as a base surfactant or co-surfactant in detergents. 
Glucoside has excellent foaming ability and good skin compatibility. 
Glucoside can be combined with other glucosides using to enhance foaming and skin conditioning properties. 
Glucoside can also be utilised in ionic formulations in order to increase foam depth and emulsification properties. 
Commonly used in shampoos and body washes.
Glucoside has the advantages of no irritation to the skin, good compatibility, mild irritation to the eyes to no, non-toxic, good biodegradability and so on.
Glucoside is a new type of non-ionic surfactant, which can be used as the main active substance of detergent, various detergents, cosmetic surfactants, pharmaceutical additives, industrial emulsifiers and many other aspects.

Side effects    
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review expert panel, or the CIR, deemed Glucoside is completely safe for use, amongst its assessment of nineteen other alkyl glucosides. 
However, in rare cases, when the individual is hypersensitive towards decyl glucoside, there could be irritation, redness, itching, or burning on the skin. 
In some cases, this results in contact dermatitis, when the individual has type-4 hypersensitivity to decyl glucoside.

Contact allergens    
Glucoside or decyl d-glucoside, also named decylbeta- d-glucopyranoside, belongs to the alkyl glucosides family and is obtained by condensation of the fatty alcohol decyl alcohol and a d-glucose polymer. 
This nonionic surfactant and cleansing agent has been widely used for several years, due to its foaming power and good tolerance in rinse-off products such as shampoos, hair dyes and colors, and soaps. 
Glucoside is also employed in leave-on products such as no-rinsing cleansing milks, lotions, and several sunscreen agents and is contained as a stabilizing surfactant of organic microparticles in sunscreen agent Tinosorb? M.

Synthesis    
Glucoside were prepared from D-glucose with 1-decanol by direct glucosidation over the zeolite catalysts. 
Glucoside and 1-decanol (50 mL) were introduced as the reactants. 
The reactants were put into the reactor with the zeolite catalyst. 
The reaction was carried out directly in the reactor, stirring at 130 ℃.
