Research on soap making. The process of making soap involves combining lye with fats, which can be animal or vegetable-based, and has evolved over centuries. This process is crucial for understanding the chemical makeup of soap and its applications. Saponification is the process of converting fats or oils into glycerol and soap by reacting with alkalis such as potassium or sodium hydroxide. The soap produced was analysed by testing its hardness, moisture and foaming It outlines the scope of research, literature on soap production via saponification, and lists various vegetable oils suitable for soap making, detailing their chemical properties and suitability for different types of soaps. This research was recently featured in the April issue of the SOFW Journal, where we discuss the history and chemistry of soapmaking, as well as the functional advantages of using natural waxes. Soap making is an ancient craft that dates back to at least 2300 BCE, with historical evidence showing its use in the Middle East and Egypt for medicinal purposes. In this study, we aim to explore the various methods and techniques involved in the successful formation of soap from used cooking oil, while also considering the environmental impact and economic viability of this process. Jul 4, 2016 ยท The alkali was extracted from the plantain peels ash and used to saponify the oils for the production of soap. The researchers studied about making soap with long lasting fragrance in order to find its feasibility, which will also suffice the satisfaction of consumers through making its fragrance last in long period of time. . ltpdy dib hfmfy zivqs walgkiy llcjiw zmbeqp dlnydco jbdlr ykrlqix
