 INTRODUCTION

Mysore Sandal Soap is a brand of soap manufactured by the Karnataka Soaps and Detergents
Limited (KSDL), a company owned by the government of Karnataka in India. This soap has been
manufactured since 1916, when Krishna Raja Wadiyar IV, the king of Mysore, set up the
Government Soap Factory in Bangalore. The main motivation for setting up the factory was the
excessive sandalwood reserves that the Mysore Kingdom had, which could not be exported
to Europe because of the First World War.

In 1980, KSDL was incorporated as a company by merging the Government Soap Factory with the
sandalwood oil factories at Shimoga and Mysore. Mysore Sandal Soap is the only soap in the world
made from 100% pure sandalwood oil. KSDL owns a proprietary geographical indication tag on the
soap, which gives it intellectual property rights to use the brand name, to ensure quality, and to
prevent piracy and unauthorised use by other manufacturers. In 2006, Mahendra Singh Dhoni,
the Indian cricketer was selected as the

In the early 20th century, the Mysore Kingdom in India was one of the largest producers
of sandalwood in the world. It was also one of the major exporters of the wood, most of which was
exported to Europe. During the First World War, large reserves of sandalwood were left over
because they could not be exported due to the war. To make good use of these reserves, Nalvadi
Krishnaraja Wodeyar, the king of Mysore, established the Government Soap Factory in Bangalore.
This factory, which was set up in 1916, started manufacturing soaps under the brand name Mysore
Sandal Soap using sandalwood oil as the main ingredient. A factory to distill sandalwood oil from
the wood was set up at Mysore in the same year. In 1944, another sandalwood oil factory was set up
at Shimoga.[2] After the unification of Karnataka, these factories came under the jurisdiction of the
government of Karnataka. In 1980, the Government decided to merge these factories and incorporate
them under a company named Karnataka Soaps and Detergents Limited. Sharabha, a mythological
creature having a body of a lion and the head of an elephant, was chosen as the logo of the company
because the creature represents the combined virtues of wisdom, courage, and strength and
symbolizes the company's philosophy. The company has since diversified, and manufactures incense
sticks, talcum powder, and detergents, apart from soaps.

PROCESS OF EXTRACT OIL FROM SANDAL

 Distillation and Extraction of Sandalwood Essential Oil

STEP1: Steam Distillation

Today most sandalwood companies use steam distillation in

order to extract sandalwood oil. Steam distillation is a process in which steam heated at extremely high
temperatures (usually around 140-212˚ F) is passed through the powdered wood. The steam releases
the sandalwood essential oil that is locked within the cellular structure of the wood. The mixture of
steam and oil then flows through a condenser and cools, yielding a layer of oil and a layer of water.
The sandalwood essential oil separates from the hydrosol (floral water) rises to the top so it can then be
collected. The distillation process for sandalwood oil takes anywhere from 14 to 36 hours, longer than
for many other essential oils. Despite the fact that this method requires a longer process than other
distillation methods, it’s known to produce superior quality oil, yielding 84.32% santalol (Sandalwood
Research Network [SRN]
STEP2: Water (Hydro) Distillation

Hydro, or water, distillation is the

traditional method of
extracting sandalwood essential oil.
Instead of steam passing through the
powdered wood, in hydro distillation
the powdered wood is immersed in
water to soak. The water is then boiled,
often heated over an open fire. The
essential oil eventually floats to the
surface, above the hydrosol, w here
it can be collected. Some disadvantages
to this method include the fact that
hydro distillation requires heating a large quantity of water, which increases the costs and time needed
for sandalwood distillation. Also, the temperature of the boiling water is difficult to control, which
causes the rate of distillation to vary and often causes the oil to be “burned,” lessening its quality
Step3: supercritical CO2 extracts

CO2 extracts, also known as

supercritical CO2 extracts or
supercritical fluid CO2 extracts, are
pure plant extracts produced from a
fairly new and highly efficient
extraction process. CO2 extracts are
similar to essential oils and can be
used in aromatherapy or
perfumery. The CO2 extraction
method involves pumping
pressurized carbon dioxide into a
chamber filled with the
sandalwood’s powdered
heartwood. When carbon dioxide is subjected to pressure it possesses liquid properties while
remaining in a gaseous state. Because of these liquid properties of the gas, the CO2 acts as a solvent,
releasing the sandalwood oil from the wood. While steam distillation requires temperatures of 140˚-
212˚ F, CO2 extraction only requires temperatures of around 95˚-100˚ F ((Eden Botanicals,
http://www.edenbotanicals.com/co2-extracts-supercritical-extraction-essential-oils.html, 2014.) Oil
yielded in CO2 extraction contains about 82.5% santalol, while steam distilled oil contains about
84.32% santalol, and hydro
Step4: Absolute (solvent extract)

Absolute (solvent) extraction is a method of extracting essential oils that are most often used by the
perfume industry, due to the strong
aroma of the oil extracted with this
process. Solvent extraction uses
solvents, such as petroleum ether,
methanol, ethanol, or hexane, to
extract the oil from the plant. The
chemicals release not only the
plant’s oil, but also chlorophyll and
other plant tissue, resulting in a
thick, highly concentrated extract
known as a concrete. The concrete
is then mixed with alcohol to
extract just the plant’s essential oils
(Natural Association for Holistic
Aromatherapy [NAHA],

This distillation method is less often used to produce therapeutic oils for aromatherapy such
as sandalwood essential oil, because chemicals such as hexane, acetone, di-methylene-chloride, and
others are used in the process. This method is often used for jasmine, carnation, gardenia, jonquil,
violet leaf, narcissus, mimosa, and other flowers which are too delicate to be processed through steam
or hydro distillation.

Absolute extraction is rarely used to extract sandalwood.

Step5: Phytonics Process

The phytonics process is one of the most recently developed technologies for essential oil
extraction. Advanced Phytonics Ltd. (Manchester, UK) developed and patented this method, and a
recent essential oil extraction report explains that “The products mostly extracted by this process are
fragrant components of essential oils and biological or phytopharmacological extracts which can be
used directly without further physical or chemical treatment.” The phytonics process involves the
solvent hydrofluorocarbon-134a, which has a boiling point of -25˚ C (-13˚F). This solvent is neither
flammable nor toxic, and it does not deplete the ozone layer. By most standards, this substance makes
for a “poor solvent,” as it does not mix with many other chemicals such as mineral oils or
triglycerides. However, since this solvent also does not dissolve plant wastes, it is perfect for use in
the extraction of essential oils.
 SWOT ANALYSIS

STRENGTHS The factory is located in the heart of the city & has all infrastructure facilities It is
fully owned by Govt. of Karnataka so in times of financial crisis it can easily get the financial
support from government. A very little competition for its major products sandal soap. An ISO 9002
certified company has its own brand image. An ISO 14001 company, which commits to reserve the
natural environment in the production of its quality products to the satisfaction of its customers.
Diversified product range keeps the company stable.  Abundant availability of raw materials at
present

WEAKKNESS Excessive labor force has increased the operating cost. Low turn over . Defective
marketing strategy . The technology used for production is old and needs up gradation. R&D is not
effective in reducing the cost of production.  The large proportion of the target area is upper middle
class and upper class people, it has very few offers to lower middle class. Unskilled labor force is
hampering the growth.

OPPORTUNITIES: The toilet soap and the detergents market are an ever expanding industry and
a major company like KS& DL with its manufacturing expertise can grab the market if it reaches
peak manufacturing capacity. The company has a great opportunity to expand its market share by
increasing exports. At present it has Good raw material sources to enhance production.

THREATS: Competition from other global leaders like HUL. Government interference may reduce
growth potential. As company depends on forests for its main raw materials make make the
company to find chemical alternatives to sandalwood. Unskilled labor.
