Saponifiable

This is probably due to the fact that it is 100% glycerin which is not entirely saponifiable by lye. ❋ Anne-Marie (2007)

The exact chemical changes occurring during the alkaline boil have not yet been verified; but in a somewhat oversimplified manner, the following changes could be deduced to happen: the hemicellulose which are largely made up of mixed polysaccharides are converted to their soluble simple sugars; saponifiable gums and waxes are saponified into soluble soaps; and, unsaponifiable oils are emulsified by these soaps and the wetting agent. ❋ Unknown (1992)

The oil consists almost entirely of linalol, with traces of saponifiable bodies, but appears to be free from methyl heptenone, found by Barbier and Bouveault in Mexican linaloe oil. ❋ H. A. Appleton (N/A)

This product is obtained by thickening water-glass with stearine, oleine, or any other easily saponifiable fat. ❋ Various (N/A)

Solid paraffin, heavy petroleum or paraffin oils, and rosin oil -- which is produced by the destructive distillation of rosin -- are not saponifiable, and yield about the whole of the amount employed to the petroleum spirit or ether. ❋ Various (N/A)

Japan wax is almost entirely saponifiable, while beeswax and spermaceti yield about half their weights to the petroleum spirit or ether. ❋ Various (N/A)

They are due to the fact that paraffin wax is not saponifiable by the action of the alkalies used in the process, and is therefore not extracted. ❋ Franklin Beech (N/A)

Dam and the American investigator Almquist showed almost simultaneously that activity follows the non-saponifiable lipoid fraction. ❋ Unknown (1944)

In the saponifiable portion, glycerol was the only alcohol present, the acids being carnaubic, 10 percent; daturinic acid, 1 to 1.5 percent; palmitic acid, 25 to 28 percent; capric acid, 0.5 percent; oleic acid, ❋ Unknown (1909)

The fixed oil is bright yellow, saponifiable by potash, soluble in chloroform and ether, insoluble in alcohol, solidifies at 10°. ❋ Jerome Beers Thomas (1891)

Packed with non-saponifiable fats like keratin, allantoin and vitamin E., it smells lovely and feels totally decadent to apply. ❋ Unknown (2009)
