cocoyl glutamic acid 210357-12-3

Disodium cocoyl glutamate is an amino acid-based anionic surfactant, which is a white to off-white granular or powdery solid at room temperature. This compound was first developed by researchers at Henkel and Unilever in the late 1980s [1].

It is prepared by acylation of L-glutamic acid with coconut oil-derived fatty acids, followed by partial neutralization with sodium hydroxide. This ingredient is mainly used in personal care products such as shampoos and facial cleansers as a foaming agent and mild detergent [1-2], and is also used as an excipient in pharmaceuticals and as a flavor enhancer in food [1]. It has good detergency and foaming abilities, good biodegradability, and low skin irritation [2-3] [5].
