CHAPTER FIVE
SOAP PROCESSING
5.1.1 Saponification
(gives off heat) chemical reaction that occurs when fats or oils (fatty acids) come into
contact with lye (a base.) Saponification literally means "turning into soap" from the
root word, "sapo", which is Latin for soap. The by-products of the saponification
Oils and fats each have what is called a saponification value, which is the amount
of lye needed to completely neutralize them into soap with no lye left over. Each oil
has a different value, which is why its important to always run your recipes through a
lye calculator.
The saponification generally takes about 24-48 hours to complete once the lye and
oils have been mixed and the raw soap has been poured into the mold. This process
can be sped up by adding more heat, or slowed down by keeping the process very
cool.
98
5.2 Processing of soap
Soap is a combination of animal fat or plant oil and caustic soda. When dissolved in
water, it breaks dirt away from surfaces. Through the ages soap has been used to
cleanse, to cure skin sores, to dye hair, and as a salve or skin ointment. But today
5.3 History
The exact origins of soap are unknown, though Roman sources claim it dates back
to at least 600 B.C. When Phoenicians prepared it from goats tallow and wood ash.
By the eighth century, soap was common in France, Italy, and Spain, but it was
rarely used in the rest of Europe until as late as the 17th century.
Early soap manufacturers simply boiled a solution of wood ash and animal fat. A
foam substance formed at the top of the pot. When cooled, it hardened into soap.
Around 1790, French soap maker Nicolas Leblanc developed a method of extracting
caustic soda (sodium hydroxide) from common table salt(sodium chloride), replacing
the wood ash element of soap. The French chemist Eugene-Michel Chevreul put the
in 1823. In saponification, the animal fat, which is chemically neutral, splits into fatty
acids, which react with alkali carbonates to form soap, leaving glycerine is a by-
product. Soap was made with industrial processes by the end of the 19th century,
though people in rural areas, such as the pioneers in the western United States,
99
5.4 Raw Materials
Soap requires two major raw materials: fat and alkali. The alkali most commonly
used today is sodium hydroxide. Potassium hydroxide can also be used. Potassium-
based soap creates a more water-soluble product than sodium-based soap, and so it
is called "soft soap." Soft soap, alone or in combination with sodium-based soap, is
Animal fat in the past was obtained directly from a slaughterhouse. Modern
soapmakers use fat that has been processed into fatty acids. This eliminates many
fats, including olive oil, palm kernel oil, and coconut oil, are also used in soap
making.
Additives are used to enhance the color, texture, and scent of soap. Fragrances and
perfumes are added to the soap mixture to cover the odor of dirt and to leave behind
a fresh-smelling scent. Abrasives to enhance the texture of soap include talc, silica,
and marble pumice (volcanic ash). Soap made without dye is a dull grey or brown
color, but modern manufacturers color soap to make it more enticing to the
consumer.
100
Figure 5.1 The kettle process of making soap.
The kettle method of making soap is still used today by small soap manufacturing
companies. This process takes from four to eleven days to complete, and the quality
of each batch is inconsistent due to the variety of oils used. Around 1940, engineers
companies all around the world today. Exactly as the name states, in the continuous
process soap is produced continuously, rather than one batch at a time. Technicians
have more control of the production in the continuous process, and the steps are
much quicker than in the kettle methodit takes only about six hours to complete a
batch of soap.
101
The Kettle Process
Boiling
i. Fats and alkali are melted in a kettle, which is a steel tank that can stand
three stories high and hold several thousand pounds of material. Steam coils
within the kettle heat the batch and bring it to a boil. After boiling, the mass
thickens as the fat reacts with the alkali, producing soap and glycerin.
ii. Salting The soap and glycerin must now be separated. The mixture is treated
with salt, causing the soap to rise to the top and the glycerin to settle to the
iii. Strong change To remove the small amounts of fat that have not saponified, a
strong caustic solution is added to the kettle. This step in the process is called
"strong change." The mass is brought to a boil again, and the last of the fat
turns to soap. The batch may be given another salt treatment at this time, or
iv. Pitching The next step is called "pitching." The soap in the kettle is boiled
again with added water. The mass eventually separates into two layers. The
top layer is called "neat soap," which is about 70% soap and 30% water. The
lower layer, called "nigre," contains most of the impurities in the soap such as
dirt and salt, as well as most of the water. The neat soap is taken off the top.
The soap is then cooled. The finishing process is the same as for soap made
102
by the continuous process. Developed around 1940 and used by today's
Splitting

control of the process. Molten fat is pumped into one end of the column, while
at the other end water at high temperature (266F [130C]) and pressure is
introduced. This splits the fat into its two components. The fatty acid and
glycerin are pumped out continuously as more fat and water enter. The fatty
ii. Mixing The purified fatty acids are next mixed with a precise amount of alkali
to form soap. Other ingredients such as abrasives and fragrance are also
mixed in. The hot liquid soap may be then whipped to incorporate air.
iii. Cooling and finishing The soap may be poured into molds and allowed to
harden into a large slab. It may also be cooled in a special freezer. The slab is
cut into smaller pieces of bar size, which are then stamped and wrapped. The
several hours.
iv. Milling Most toiletry soap undergoes additional processing called milling. The
milled bar lathers up better and has a finer consistency than non-milled soap.
The cooled soap is fed through several sets of heavy rollers (mills), which
crush and knead it. Perfumes can best be incorporated at this time because
their volatile oils do not evaporate in the cold mixture. After the soap emerges
from the mills, it is pressed into a smooth cylinder and extruded. The extruded
