We also discovered that the Fiber contactor is a reactor suitable for high efficiency biodiesel production. A patent application has been filed based on the outstanding Phase I results. To be tested in Phase II ; and Extraction of phytosterols as a value added product To be tested in Phase II ; and highly efficient preparation of biodiesel. Typical FFA content of vegetable oils is 0.
The production of emulsions in this step has lead to complex processes for deacidifying vegetable oil. These processes use multiple stages of mixing, each followed by centrifugation to separate the oil and water phases. The contact time of mixing, separation, and settling allows ester saponification to cause more oil loss and more soapstock production than is necessary. Our objective will be to extract the FFA with very low loss of vegetable oil.
The sensory perception analysis was done using the sensory information management system software SIMS , version 6. The output from this study attempted to fill this knowledge gap. We observed commercial natural soaps manufactured from plant oils and additives as feedstock by cold saponification retained significant levels of unsaponified fatty acids, phenolic compounds, and antioxidant activities in the final products.
The majority of the unsaturated fatty acids present in the feedstock remained unsaponified in the natural soaps after manufacturing by cold saponification. The unsaponified monounsaturated fatty acids Cn9 appeared to be the most responsive to the variation in the choice of vegetable oils used as soap feedstock during manufacturing via cold saponification.
Addition of additives in the soap formulation had a significant effect on the percent change or retention of the feedstock fatty acids as unsaponified fatty acids in the finished products. Both the antioxidants and phenolics were associated with the retention or levels of Cn9 and Cn3, but not Cn6 unsaturated unsaponified fatty acids in natural herbal soaps manufactured via cold saponification. These findings suggest cold saponification is an effective approach to enhance the levels of unsaponified fatty acids, phenolics, and antioxidants in hand-made natural soaps.
These findings are of major significance to artisanal production of natural herbal soaps because antioxidants, polyphenols, and unsaponified unsaturated fatty acids appear to be major determinants of natural soap quality, consumer perception, and preference of the final products.
One of the most significant findings in this study was that the base bar used as control in this study had the best overall preference compared to the other soaps formulated with specialty or exotic plant oils as feedstock and additives. These findings suggest some of the more exotic additives and specialty oils used to manufacture hand-made natural soaps may not be producing the perceived consumer acceptance or preference, and that artisan natural soap makers should give careful considerations to their use during the manufacturing of hand-made natural soaps.
This work provides some baseline information regarding natural hand-made soaps manufacturing, which is very sparse in the scientific literature. The hope is that the information presented will stimulate additional studies by other researchers in the scientific community, to further improve the knowledge that may be of value to the growing specialty hand-made soap industry.

Abstract Saponification is the process in which triglycerides are combined with a strong base to form fatty acid metal salts during the soap-making process.

Table 2 The effects of cold saponification and natural additives on the unsaponified fatty acid composition in different commercial natural soaps. Figure 3. Phenolic, Antioxidant, and Oxidant Status in Natural Herbal Soaps Considering we observed that the majority of unsaturated fatty acids present in the natural soap feedstocks were retained as unsaponified fatty acids in the soaps produced, we wanted to assess the antioxidants, phenolics, and oxidants levels in the soaps to determine if they would have any relationships with preserving the unsaturated unsaponified fatty acids in natural soaps.
Figure 4. Figure 5. Figure 6. Figure 7. Relationship between Sensory Attributes and Unsaponified Fatty Acid Composition of Natural Herbal Soaps Considering the levels and composition of unsaponified fatty acids were similar between the samples with and without additives Table 2 , we decided to focus our attention on determining the sensory perception of BB, FG, and H, as well as to determine if there was any relationship between sensory attributes and soap quality parameters based on the unsaponified fatty acid composition.

Addition of Natural Additives to Herbal Soaps To evaluate the effects of additives on the unsaponified fatty acid composition of BB, FG, and H herbal soaps following cold saponification, natural plant additives were added to each of the soaps as follows: To the base bar and forest grove soaps, 0.
Chemical Analysis of the Natural Herbal Soaps 3. Sample Extraction Extraction was carried out according to the methods of Thomas et al. Total Phenolic Content TPC Analysis The hydrophilic and lipophilic phenolic content were determined separately using a fold diluted solution of Folin—Ciocalteu reagent with quercetin as a standard in the range of 0—1.
Total Oxidant Status Analysis This analysis was conducted using the established method of Erel [ 16 ]. Soap Lipid Extraction Soap lipids were extracted using the established Bligh and Dyer method with the following modifications [ 17 , 18 ]. Soap Sensory Analysis The effects of the unsaponified fatty acids on the perception of herbal soaps were conducted according to the methods of Garcia-Segovia et al.

Oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids and its impact on food quality and human health. The chemical reaction between any fat and sodium hydroxide is a saponification reaction.
While the one-step triglyceride reaction with lye is most frequently used, there is also a two-step saponification reaction. In the two-step reaction, steam hydrolysis of the triglyceride yields carboxylic acid rather than its salt and glycerol.
In the second step of the process, alkali neutralizes the fatty acid to produce soap. The two-step process is slower, but the advantage of the process is that it allows for purification of the fatty acids and thus produces a higher quality soap. Saponification may result in both desirable and undesirable effects. The reactions sometimes damage oil paintings when heavy metals used in pigments react with free fatty acids the "oil" in oil paint , forming soap.
The reaction starts in the deep layers of a painting and works its way toward the surface. At present, there is no way to stop the process or identify what causes it to occur. The only effective restoration method is retouching. Wet chemical fire extinguishers use saponification to convert burning oils and fats into non-combustible soap.
The chemical reaction further inhibits the fire because it is endothermic, absorbing heat from its surroundings and lowering the temperature of the flames. While sodium hydroxide hard soap and potassium hydroxide soft soap are used for everyday cleaning, there are soaps made using other metal hydroxides.
Lithium soaps are used as lubricating greases. There are also "complex soaps" consisting of a mixture of metallic soaps. How many onions yield 2 cups?
