Traditional soap making involved making soap in a kettle by boiling a mixture of fats and alkalis. Modern soap making uses a continuous process where fats are split into fatty acids and glycerin in a column, then the fatty acids are mixed with alkalis to form soap. While the basic components are the same, modern processes are more industrial with multiple stages and processed ingredients rather than animal fats.

*Traditional / Early soap manufacturing practice/ Ancient
(adj.) / follow a primitive method (adj.)
- the kettle process of making soap/ cauldron/ a large kettle/ a large round container - Soap was made from a mixture/ concentrate (n.) / a substance/a solution of … - stored/ added/ mixed/ boiled- heated /be kept lukewarm> go through the boiling stage
Soap is made with industrial processes / The Continuous
Process - It involves Splitting: - Be splited into fatty acids and glycerin - vertical column ,hydrolizer ; - pumped into one end of the column - water (added) at high temperature [130°C]). This splits the fat into its two components/ The fatty acid and glycerin are pumped out continuously when more fat and water enter. Mixing: fatty acids are next mixed with alkali to form soap. Cooling: The soap may be poured into / It may also be cooled Milling and finishing - cooled soap/ be fed through/ heavy rollers (mills)/ crush/ knead/ press - Perfumes, fragrances /be incorporated into the soap mixture / be added to the soap mixture - Be cut into bar size/ be stamped and wrapped. Differences - Sources of ingredients: raw Animal fat / fat was obtained from slaughter >< processed fatty acids. - More industrial stages be involved/ be observed/ be seen in modern soapmaking techniques - Soap mixture kept lukewarm >< mixed liquid is cooled - Similarities: basic components/ indispensable components : fat and alkalis (take on different forms)
