Effects of soapmaking process on soap stability with dragon fruit peels extract

Abstract: This research aims to know the effects of extract composition on the solid soap properties (i.e. pH and hardness). The extract composition and reaction time were varied at 1 to 1.5 wt.% and 20 to 40 minutes, respectively. The red dragon fruit peels (Hylocereus polyrhizus) extract was obtained by maceration method followed by evaporation process, in order to remove the remaining ethanol (EtOH). The solid soap is made by reacting Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and several additives. The re… Show more

“…The highest level of hardness was demonstrated by the control sample (3380 ± 87 g), while infused soaps showed a lower level of hardness; there is also a noticeable correlation indicating that an increasing amount of these additives resulted in a hardness level decrease. Adequate dependence was noticed in the study performed by Purwanto et al, where the addition of an extract of dragon fruit peels affected the hardness of the soap [56]. Besides, hardness can be influenced by other factors such as moisture content, meaning that a lower moisture content would result in a higher hardness level and vice versa [57].…”
