1.1 AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
The aims of this study are:
(i) To determine the moisture content of Lux
(ii) To determine the free caustic alkali
(iii) To know the quality and its durability
It
is hoped that the results obtained in the analysis and its
interpretation in terms of quality may culminate in suggestion that
could lead to an enhancement of those characteristics of the soap.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
1. The soap (Lux) analysed shrink and become soft when it contains high moisture content.
2. The soap with high caustic alkali causes rashes and irritation irritating the skin.
3. When glycerol, which is the valuable by product of soap separate, it will constitute a problem.
1.3 HYPOTHESIS
Ho : Lux Soap sold in Nigeria markets have the NaOH content
required of good soap.
H1 : Lux Soap sold in Nigerian markets do not have the NaOH
content required of good soap.
1.4 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The
product analysed will be used for washing and general removal of
dirties. It will also enhance removal of germs and also reduce the
surface tension. It will also serve to remove colour and greasy
surfaces.
1.5 LIMITATIONS
In hard water, it is an ineffective
cleaner. Hard water contains salt of Magnesium, calcium and iron in
solution. When soap is used in hard water, calcium soap the insoluble
calcium salt of the fatty acid and other precipitate are deposited as
curds.
