Zusammenfassung:This invention is directed to a process for the preparation of color-stable, light-colored aqueous salt pastes of wash-active esters of alpha -sulfofatty acids with monohydric C1-C8-alcohols by a combined bleaching treatment of dark-colored alpha -sulfofatty acid ester salt paste with hydrogen peroxide and alkali metal hypochlorite. According to the process, dark-colored alpha -sulfofatty acid ester salt paste is first subjected in a preliminary bleaching step to bleaching with alkali metal hypochlorite in a neutral to mildly alkaline aqueous medium, any excess metal hypochlorite is removed, and the paste is subjected in a final bleaching step to bleaching in a mildly acidic medium with hydrogen peroxide or with one or more compounds which yield hydrogen peroxide.
