1. The acids react with an alkali to form the
corresponding sodium or potassium
salts.The fats or oils are
hydrolysed first to form
glycerol and fattty acids.
When concentrated potassium
hydroxide solution is used
instead of concentrated sodium
hydroxide solution. a potassium
soap, potassium palmitate is
formed

2. Soap or detergent
is added to water.
Hydrophobic part
dissolves in grease.
The droplets are
suspended in water
forming an emulsion.
This has lower
the surface
tension of water and
increases the wetting
ability of water.
Scrubbing helps to
pull the grease free
and break the grease
into small droplets.
Foam produces
to float the
emulsion.
Hydrophilic part
the anion dissolves
in water.
These droplets do not
coagulate and redeposit
on the surface of the
cloth. It is because the
repulsion between
negative charges
on the surface.
Rinsing helps to
remove these
droplets.

4. Types of food additives
preservatives antioxidant stabiliser flavouring agent thickener dye
Example:
salt, sugar,
vinegar, sodium
nitrite, benzoic
acid, sulphur
dioxide.
Function:
slow down the
growth of
microorganisms
Example:
butylated
hydroxyanisole
(BHA),ascorbic
acid,alpha
tocopherol,
sodium citrate
Function:
to prevent the
oxidation of food
Example:
lecithin, mono-
glycerides and
di-glycerides
Function:
to prevent
emulsion from
seperating out.
Example:
sugar, salt,
vinegar,
monosodium
glutamate(MSG),
aspartame and
synthetic
essences.
Function:
to add and
enhance flavour
Example:
modified starch,
pectin, acacia
gum, gelatine,
xanthun gum
Function:
to thicken food
Example:
food colouring
