Soap noodles are produced by saponifying vegetable oils such as palm oil, coconut oil, olive oil, and, or animal fat (tallow) using sodium hydroxide. Soap noodles are considered to be the basic precursors of soap. Both soap makers and hobbyists use soap noodles because they can be easily customized with pigments, fragrances, and other additives to produce soap. This soap can be further customized by molding, pressing, and stamping to provide the final product.
Direct saponification is the most common method used to make soaps, where triglyceride molecules react with sodium hydroxide by the reaction. Fats and oils are hydrolyzed into their constituent fatty acids and glycerol. The fatty acids are then neutralized with sodium hydroxide. The oil, fat is trans-esterified with methanol to produce methyl esters. The methyl ester was saponified with sodium hydroxide to produce a soap with methanol as a by-product.
