                         a.  surfactants having the formulas:                         





                         wherein Y” = N or O; and each R5 is selected                 
                         independently from the following: -H,-OH,                    
                         -(CH2)xCH3, -O(OR2)z-H, -OR1, - OC(O)R1, and                 
                         -CH(CH2-(OR2)z”-H)-CH2- (OR2)z’-C(O) R1, wherein             
                          R1 is selected from the group consisting of                 
                         saturated or unsaturated, primary, secondary                 
                         or branched chain alkyl or alkyl-aryl                        
                         hydrocarbons; said hydrocarbon chain having a                
                         length of from about 6 to about 22, wherein                  
                         each R2 is selected from the following groups

                         from I to 4; and wherein x is from 0 to about                
                         3, and z, z’, and z” are from about 5 about                  
                         20;                                                          
                         b.  polyhydroxy fatty acid amide surfactants                 
                         of the formula:                                              
                                    R2-C(O)-N(R1)-Z                                   
                         wherein: each R1 is H, C1 -C4 hydrocarbyl,                   
                          C1 -C4 alkoxyalkyl, or hydroxyalkyl; R2 is a                  
                          C5-C21 hydrocarbyl moiety; and each Z is a                  
                         polyhydroxyhydrocarbyl moiety having a linear                
                         hydrocarbyl chain with at least 3 hydroxyls                  
                         directly connected to the chain, or an                       
                         ethoxylated derivative thereof;
