Rosin/Acid Oil-Based Liquid Soap

摘要

Soapstock was converted into a liquid soap from its acid oil and formulated with varying amounts of rosin.The characteristics of the acid oil and rosin were experimentally estimated.Liquid soaps were characterized by density,pH,total fatty matter,free caustic alkali,critical micelle concentration,foaming capacity,wetting power,and washing performance.The foaming results indicated that the liquid soap is best used as an ingredient in a washing-machine detergent.The dark aspect of a formulation with 10% rosin precluded higher substitution.
