Alkyl Polyglycosides (APG) is called new generation envirementally friendly surfactants. They have not been produced on the commercial scale until the nineties in the world. APGs are classified as nonionic surfactants. The feedstock of APG is based on fatty alcohol and glucose, which are obtained from renewable native resources. Thus, APGs are completely biodegradable. Because of their non-toxicity, non-irritation and many excellent surface-active performances, the APGs are widely used in the fields of detergents, cosmetics, food and medicines.
