Soap-like substances were also used by the Sumerians in 2500 BC. At that time, soap-like compounds were obtained by boiling olive oil by adding wood ash. Later, Egyptians, Romans, Teutons and Gauls also obtained these substances from the oil, which are similar to surfactants. In the Middle Ages, soap-like products were obtained by mixing wood ash into oils. As it is used today, soap was first produced synthetically in the early nineteenth century.

With the production of washing machines in the twentieth century, the demand for cleaning products has increased and in these years, cleaning agents that are easy to produce from surfactants have begun to be produced. Surfactants are chemical compounds that reduce surface tension when dissolved in water or a water-containing solution.

In the production of surfactants up to the beginning of the 1980s, Alkyl Benzene Sulfonas which are easier to biodegrade are used. However, since 1980 years, it has been revealed that surface active substances are damaging to nature and many of the companies that have been producing have had to address this issue. Thereupon, another surfactant, Alkyl Poly Glycoside, was produced. Since sugar residual molecules are present in this substance, such active substances are included in the group of nonionic surfactants.

Nowadays, the main feature of surfactants is their immediate degradation in nature. This feature refers to the loss of surface tension. Organic compounds are added to their structures during the production process and these materials are recovered in nature.

Anionic active substance analysis is also performed within the scope of basic physical and chemical analyzes performed by authorized laboratories. The laboratories that will carry out these analyzes must be accredited from national and international accreditation organizations in accordance with the TS EN ISO / IEC 17025 General Requirements for the Competence of Testing and Calibration Laboratories.
