CHARACTERIZATION AND SYNTHESIS OF NATURAL SOAPS FROM ESSENTIAL OIL EXTRACT
Session
Pharmaceutical and Natural Sciences
Description
Knowing the diversity of the plant world in general, from which we have many benefits and from the most diverse. Plant oils and extracts have been used for a variety of purposes for thousands of years. Many types of oils can be found in Albanian markets, such as: sunflower oil, corn oil, olive oil, coconut oil, grape seed oil, chamomile oil, cinnamon oil, peppermint oil, carrot oil, lemon oil, etc. Each of these oils is special and quite useful for certain issues. These oils have a wide use and are very useful for human vital health.
This paper mainly focuses on the extraction of some essential oils and the determination of their chemical properties, including the determination of the acid number, the saponification number and the ester number of these oils: oil of lemon, orange, red apple, apple carrot yellow, cinnamon, ginger, chamomile, almond and mint. And determination of retention factor based on thin layer chromatography. It will also include the effects of these oils on the human body.
Then, through these oils, several types of soaps have been obtained, for which we will talk about each type separately. For the obtained soaps, the retention factor, their hardness and the power of the foam have been determined.
