Manufacturing Process

Soap noodles are produced by saponifying vegetable oils such as palm oil, coconut oil, olive oil, and/or animal fat (tallow) using sodium hydroxide. Soap noodles are considered to be the basic precursors of soap.

Direct saponification is the most common method used to make soaps, where triglyceride molecules react with sodium hydroxide by the reaction. Fats and oils are hydrolyzed into their constituent fatty acids and glycerol. The fatty acids are then neutralized with sodium hydroxide. The oil/fat is trans-esterified with methanol to produce methyl esters. The methyl ester was the saponified with sodium hydroxide to produce a soap with methanol as a by-product.
