Detergent Formulation
Soap, detergent. Soaps can be made from alkali hydrolysis of fats and natural oils (ester of fatty acids with glycerol) such as coconut oil and olive which is called the saponification process: C3H5 (OOCR) 3 + 3NaOH → 3NaOOCR + C3H5 (OH) 3. It should be noted that in new methods, direct hydrolysis of lipids is used by water at high temperatures.
