  2. Stearic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stearic_Acid

    Stearate soap, such as sodium stearate, could be made from stearic acid but instead are usually produced by saponification of stearic acid-containing triglycerides. Esters of stearic acid with ethylene glycol (glycol stearate and glycol distearate) are used to produce a pearly effect in shampoos, soaps, and other cosmetic products. [9]

  3. Sodium stearate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_stearate

    Sodium stearate is produced as a major component of soap upon saponification of oils and fats. The percentage of the sodium stearate depends on the ingredient fats. Tallow is especially high in stearic acid content (as the triglyceride), whereas most fats only contain a few percent. The idealized equation for the formation of sodium stearate ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saponification

    In one simplified version, the saponification of stearin gives sodium stearate. C 3 H 5 (O 2 C(CH 2) 16 CH 3) 3 + 3 NaOH → C 3 H 5 (OH) 3 + 3 NaO 2 C(CH 2) 16 CH 3. This process is the main industrial method for producing glycerol (C 3 H 5 (OH) 3). Some soap-makers leave the glycerol in the soap. Others precipitate the soap by salting it out ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatty_acid_synthesis

    Elongation to stearate (18:0) mainly occurs in the ER by several membrane-bound enzymes. The steps involved in the elongation process are principally the same as those carried out by FAS, but the four principal successive steps of the elongation are performed by individual proteins, which may be physically associated. [5] [6]

  7. Magnesium stearate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnesium_stearate

    Magnesium stearate is often used as an anti-adherent [3] in the manufacture of medical tablets, capsules and powders. [4] In this regard, the substance is also useful because it has lubricating properties, preventing ingredients from sticking to manufacturing equipment during the compression of chemical powders into solid tablets; magnesium stearate is the most commonly used lubricant for ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soap_scum

    Soap scum or lime soap is the white solid composed of calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, and similar alkaline earth metal derivatives of fatty acids. These materials result from the addition of soap and other anionic surfactants to hard water.
