ABSTRACT: This study was conducted to find out how different fats and oils produce soaps of
different characteristics. It describes cold-process saponification using different fats and oils. Shea nut
oil (SAP value:183.9mgKOH/g), groundnut oil (SAP value:187.7mgKOH/g) and Tallow (SAP value:
140.3mgKOH/g) were used. Colour, texture, lathering and cleansing power of the prepared soaps
were analyzed. shea butter soap had the best lathering capacity. The groundnut oil soap had the most
effective cleaning power .The soaps were also recommended for household use .This activity was also
provided to share a delight in chemistry with senior school students and to actively engage them in
hands-on-active learning.
Key words: cold-process, saponification, triacylglycerols and properties
