  2. Saponification - Wikipedia

    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 ...

    During the Nuremberg trials, Sigmund Mazur, a laboratory assistant at the Danzig Anatomical Institute, testified that soap had been made from corpse fat at the institute, and he also claimed that 70 to 80 kg (155–175 lb) of fat which was collected from 40 bodies could produce more than 25 kg (55 lb) of soap, and the finished soap was retained ...

  4. 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 ...

  5. Saponification value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saponification_value

    The higher the saponification value, the lower the fatty acids average length, the lighter the mean molecular weight of triglycerides and vice versa. Practically, fats or oils with high saponification value (such as coconut and palm oil) are more suitable for soap making.

  6. Soft soap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soft_soap

    Soft soap may refer to: Soap that is liquid or easily soluble, usually made by saponification with potassium instead of the more typical sodium hydroxide Softsoap , trade name of a liquid soap product

  7. Hard soap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_soap

    Through the process of saponification, fats (like tallow, pig, and bone fats) or vegetable oils react with sodium hydroxide to form the sodium salts of fatty acids and glycerin. [1] The resulting mixture is known as soft soap [broken anchor], which serves as a precursor for hard soap production.
