Chemical Properties of Local Black Soap Produced from Cocoa Pod Ash and Palm Oil Waste
Journal Title: International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development - Year 2020, Vol 4, Issue 6
Abstract
This study was carried out to assess the chemical properties of local black soap produced from cocoa pod ashes and palm oil wastes in Ondo State, Nigeria. The pods were collected from a farm, dried and completely burnt to get the ashes alkali base while the palm oil waste was collected from a local producer in Owo. The traditional method was used to produce the lack soap and thereafter, the values for total fatty matter TFM , total free alkali TFA , free carbonate alkali FCaA , free caustic alkali FCA , pH, lather volume and wash active substance were determined. The result indicate that the soap had values of 67.2 w w , 7.61 w w , 2.27 w w , 4.53 w w , 10.0 and 280ml respectively for TFM, TFA, FCaA, FCA, lather volume and pH while the wash active substance was found to be 31.05 . These results revealed this soap has similar quality to most locally produced soaps. However, the gross inadequacies in the chemical composition of black soap can be improved upon which can be a potential source of job creation and wealth for teeming Nigerian youths. Ajongbolo, K.
