ABSTRACT
The purpose of this research is to produce and effective detergent with chicken fat as the primary constituent. Chicken fat was extracted from the chicken skin. Then the reaction of chicken fat with a base formed a salt of fatty acid or soap. The detergent produced was tested on its pH, its reaction to ions, and its affectivity to remove stain. Results showed that the pH of the experimental soap is relatively the same to that of Breeze and LifeBuoy. in the Testing of the soap’s reaction to ions, the experimental soap and Breeze produced small that both are affectivity to remove stains, results showed that the experimental soap could remove ketchup stain better than Tide, but Tide could remove grease stains better than the experimental soap. Both soaps have the same effect on ink and chocolate stain.
