Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2017 in the subject Chemistry - Other, grade: 3.2, , course: chemistry, language: English, abstract: This current study aimed at Ochre soap preparation and laboratory analysis as well as exploring its medicinal effects on the microbial agent. Four oils, namely palm kernel oil, palm oil, ground nut oil and shear butter oil were employed in the production of ochre soap. Dermatophilus congolensis were used as organism to test for anti-bacteria or medicated activities of this soap. The physical properties of the soap samples such as colour, texture and foaming were determined. The chemical properties such as acid value, percentage free alkalinity, percentage insoluble matter, percentage moisture and pH value were determined. It was found that the acid values of the soap with respect to oil were; 2.04, 2.12, 2.88 and 2.76 for palm kernel oil, palm oil, ground nut oil and shear butter oil respectively. The percentage free alkalinities of the soap with respect to oil were; 7.59, 7.69, 8.62 and 8.04 for palm kernel oil, palm oil, ground nut oil and shear butter oil respectively. The percentage moisture of the soap with respect to oil was; 2.4, 2.4, 5.4 and 2.8 for palm kernel oil, palm oil, ground nut oil and shear butter oil respectively. The percentage insoluble matter of the soap was; 2.2, 5.8, 4.4 and 6.6 for palm kernel oil, palm oil, ground nut oil and shear butter oil respectively. The pH values of the soap with the respect to oil were 9.00, 9.30, 9.10 and 9.40 for palm kernel oil, palm oil, ground nut oil and shear butter oil respectively.
