Until now, there were just two kinds of books on soapmaking. Books
for the commodity soap industry emphasized the economical
production of soap by the ton and were written for those with a
background in chemistry and chemical engineering. Books for the
emerging craft industry emphasized the production of high-quality
soap by the pound and were aimed at those familiar with the format
of cookbooks. Makers of handcrafted soap often wish they had paid
more attention in chemistry class so that the information of the
commodity soap books would be accessible to them. Scientific
Soapmaking answers that call by bridging the gap between the
technical and craft literatures. It explains the chemistry of fats,
oils, and soaps, and it teaches sophisticated analytical techniques
that can be carried out using equipment and materials familiar to
makers of handcrafted soap. Presented in a college textbook format,
Scientific Soapmaking guides students and individual soapmakers
alike to formulate questions about soap and design experiments to
answer those questions scientifically.
