Excerpt from Chemical and Physical Methods for the Control of Saponified Cresol SolutionsIn addition to alkali combined as soap, an excess may be present owing either to faulty following of a formula or to incomplete saponification of glycerides. A slight excess is justifiable and perhaps even desirable, but above a certain proportion it becomes objectionable because it may render the final solution unnecessarily severe upon animals. Accordingly the excess alkali should be restricted by a maximum limit.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
