ABSTRACT
However, the golden days of consistent growth in production volume, high profi t margins, and promising new emerging markets are unlikely to continue or persist, particularly as the various applications of detergent formulations are concerned-at home and institutions, as well as in industry and agriculture. The main determining factors in this respect are globalization, consolidation, regulatory legislation, and environmental concerns [1], the latter two being of particular pertinence to the sustainable application of detergents.
