 • The data obtained from the experiment is
recorded.

RESULT • The analysis for hard soap from saponification

and the difference in FTIR spectrum of the fat
and soap produced are both tabulated on table
1,2 and 3.

The sample of hard soap was
synthesized by using saponification
process. The observation from litmus
paper and changes of the solution is
shown in the following table 1

REPORT: SAPONIFICATION OF FAT 9

 • Objective:
• To synthesize a sample of hard soap by using
saponification process.
• To analyse the difference in FTIR spectrum of the fat
and soap produced.
• Part A:
• Started by producing a sample of hard soap.
DISCUSSION • Test the synthesized soap after amalgamation is done
.
• Part B:
• The litmus paper change from orange to blue with
pH estimation of 8.
• The frequency range in FTIR reading is used to
determine the type of bond and compound. (Based
on IR Spectrum Table)

REPORT: SAPONIFICATION OF FAT 10

 From the result recorded in
table 2:
• Frequency range (3000 – 700 cm-1 )

Based on Mirghani (2000)

Oil findings:
• NaOH-spiked range between palm oil
and pure palm oil is 4000 – 600 cm-1

The finding obtained was

relatable
REPORT: SAPONIFICATION OF FAT 11
 Soaps have a board absorption around 3400 cm-1

From the result obtained in table 3:

SOAP
• Frequency range of N-H stretching is 3391.69 cm-1

Based on Poulenat (2003) findings:

• The infrared spectra for NaCl is 4000-3000 cm-1

Comparing both finding, the soaps broad absorption is

relatively close, and it can be concluded that the
experiment was relatable.

 CONCLUSION

 Through this experiment, the result is obtained easily

in the graph. This analysis is isolated into two part;
Part A and Part B. For part A, the test started by
producing a sample of hard soap. After the
amalgamation of soap is done, the test for the
synthesized soap was led (part B).
