Polyethylene Glycols are used in the preparation of which type of detergents?

A. Cationic detergents
B. Anionic detergents
C. Non-ionic detergents soap
D. All of above

¨       Polyethylene glycols (PEGs) are commonly used in the preparation of non-ionic detergents. Non-ionic detergents are a type of detergent that do not contain charged molecules, unlike anionic and cationic detergents which have charged hydrophilic (water-soluble) heads. Non-ionic detergents are often used in biological applications, such as in the isolation and purification of proteins, because they are less likely to denature or disrupt the structure of biomolecules compared to ionic detergents.

¨       Therefore, the correct answer is C. Non-ionic detergents.
