Reaction of carbohydrates with long‐chain plantderived lipids yields carbohydrate‐alkyl ester surfactants with a polyol structure. Their renewability, low cost, and environmental acceptability make carbohydrate‐alkyl ester surfactants an excellent alternative to petrochemically derived products. This article reviews developments in the synthesis and surface‐active properties of carbohydrate‐alkyl ester surfactants
