Page/Page column 9; 11, (2010/11/08)
The present invention relates to solid N-acylalanine comprising one kind or two or more kinds of compounds, each having an acyl group having a different number of carbon atoms, which is/are selected from the compounds represented by the formula (I): wherein R is a straight chain or branched chain, saturated or unsaturated acyl group having 8 to 22 carbon atoms, and M is a hydrogen atom, an alkali metal, an alkaline earth metal, ammonium, an organic amine or a basic amino acid, or a salt thereof, and a cleansing composition comprising the solid N-acylalanine or a salt thereof. The solid acylalanine or a salt thereof of the present invention is superior in solubility, and is free of moisture absorption or caking during preservation and agglomeration on dissolution in water. A powder or granular cleansing composition containing the solid N-acylalanine or a salt thereof as a main component (main cleansing component) achieves a cleansing agent having extremely high property, which is free of caking during preservation and coagulation in practical use, superior in the basic performance of cleansing agents (lather characteristics), free of slimyness and friction during use, and safe with less irritation.
