oil fatty alcohol are preferred in addition the alkyl and or alkenyl oligoglycosides may be present in the form of their adducts with 1 to 30 moles of ethylene propylene and or butylene oxide alkyl and or alkenyl oligoglycosides are known substances which may be obtained by the relevant methods of preparative organic chemistry one process for their production is based for example on the acid catalyzed acetalization of glucose with fatty alcohols european patent application ep a1 0 301 298 is cited as representative of the extensive literature available on the subject the alkyl and or alkenyl oligoglycosides are used in the form of water containing pastes which may have a water content of 20 to 80 by weight and preferably 30 to 50 by weight based on the paste to produce granules and partial granules it is of advantage to process other ingredients for example anionic or nonionic surfactants builders fillers etc together with the alkyl and or alkenyl oligoglycoside pastes to form dry free flowing granules the anionic surfactants may be selected for example from the group consisting of soaps alkyl benzenesulfonates olefin sulfonates alkane sulfonates alkylether sulfonates alpha sulfofatty acids internal sulfofatty acids alpha ester sulfonates glycerol ether sulfonates alkyl sulfates alkylether sulfates with a conventional or narrow homolog distribution glycerol ether sulfates monoglyceride ether sulfates hydroxy mixed ether sulfates alkyl oligoglucoside sulfates isethionates taurides sarcosinates ether carboxylic acids sulfosuccinates sulfotriglycerides and alkyl ether phosphates suitable nonionic surfactants are for example substances selected from the group consisting of fatty alcohol polyglycol ethers with a conventional or narrow homolog distribution alkylphenol polyglycol ethers mixed ethers amine oxides sugar esters sorbitan esters and polysorbates detergents and ingredients are understood for example to be.
