PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an internal olefin sulfonate composition which is capable of sufficiently increasing foamability, foam dispersibility, and foam disappearance, and a detergent composition containing the same.SOLUTION: The internal olefin sulfonate composition contains (A) an internal olefin sulfonate having 16 carbon atoms, and (B) an internal olefin sulfonate having 14 carbon atoms. The content mass ratio (A/B) of component (A) and component (B) is 10/90-70/30, and the content of an internal olefin sulfonate having 18 or more carbon atoms is 5 mass% or less.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】起泡性、泡拡散性及び泡切れ性を十分に高めることができる内部オレフィンスルホン酸塩組成物、及びこれを含有する洗浄剤組成物の提供。【解決手段】(A)炭素数16の内部オレフィンスルホン酸塩及び(B)炭素数14の内部オレフィンスルホン酸塩を含有し、当該成分(A)と成分(B)の含有質量比(A/B)が10/90~70/30であり、かつ炭素数18以上の内部オレフィンスルホン酸塩の含有量が5質量%以下である内部オレフィンスルホン酸塩組成物。【選択図】なし
