[0025]
In the present invention, after the amidoamine and hydrogen peroxide are reacted, the above-described treatment can be performed to suppress the decomposition or transfer reaction of amine oxide. According to the present invention, when the amine oxide is stored in the form of an aqueous solution, when the amine oxide aqueous solution is dried by lyophilization or the like to form a powder and then added to a product such as a cleaning agent and stored in a product system In addition, the decomposition and transfer reaction of amine oxide can be suppressed. In particular, when amine oxide is dried to a moisture content of 12 wt% or less, preferably 8 wt% or less to form a powder, the decomposition of amine oxide becomes very large, but this decomposition can be achieved by the treatment of the present invention. It can be suppressed and is very preferable.
