Development of Textile Auxiliaries(such as Soap) from Locally Available Raw Material.

Mr. Md. M Anwarul Islam
Senior Scientific Officer
Chemistry Department, Chemistry and Biochemistry Division, BJRI, Technology Wing, Manik Mia Avenue, Dhaka-1207.

Abstract/ Executive Summary:

To develope the textile auxiliaries such as soap from locally available raw jute material soap was prepared from jute seed. In this experiment soap wae prepared from boiled jute seed oil with sodium hydroxide solution. After the completion of saphonification, the soap was salted out with the addition of enough sodium chloride. The soap was skimmed off from the lye. The quality of the soap was studied by determining different chemical properties in the chemistry department during 1989 using standard method at standard room temperature and humidity conditions. The physical properties of the soap prepared from jute seed oil was compared with the local soap and found as much standard as that of locally available soap.

Keywords: Soap, Jute seed, Saphonification

Location: Printing and Dyeing Division

Start Date: 01-01-1989

End Date: 31-12-1998

Program Area: Postharvest and Agro-processing

Commodity: Jute

Objectives:

1.To increase the industrial use of new jute products for market evaluation.

2.To increase the industrial uses of low quality jute and wastes.

Methodology:

Jute seed oil (100gm) was boiled with sodium hydroxide solution (40%) for 1.5 hours. After the completion of saphonification, the soap was salted out with the addition of enough sodium chloride. The soap was skimmed off from the lye. The yield was about 150gms. Quality of the soap was studied by determining moisture, free alkali, salt, unsaponifiable matter, total fatty acids and surface tension.
