This projects is aimed at knowing the process and quality factor in
Laundary and Toilet Soap Projection. Various factors affected the quality
of the soap produced. These include the method used in production, types
and nature of oils used, the percentage of the additives in the soap and
the ratio at which oils are mixed to react with alkali.

The work was carried out using one type of oil, namely, palm kernel oil for
production of laundary soap and a blend oil in the ration of 95:5 (PKO to
soya bean oil) for production of Toilet Soap respectively. The oil was
firstly subjected to various analytical tests.

Using both blended and unblended oil for production of Toilet and laundary
soap in the ration of 2:1 of oil to alkali, soaps were produced which
varied in quality as a result of either the ratio of mixing, the nature of
oil or by both. Additives like sodium silicate, green pigment, pink
pigment, citrolene perfume were added to improve the soaps quality and
appearance.

The omo soap samples produced; laundry and toilet soap have some
distinguishable properties and these properties were found to be dependent
on the different properties of the oils employed.
