Lye CalculatorRecipe Specifications* Saponification ValuesNote that the official SAP Value for an oil is always expressed as the number of grams of KOH necessary to saponify 1000 grams of oil. All SAP Values used in the HSMG Lye Calculator are shown that way; however the calculations convert to the correct amount of NaOH when that is the form of lye selected. Thanks to the American Oil Chemists; Society (AOCS) for granting us permission to use their information for SAP values for the majority of the oils used in this lye calculator. SAP value information was also obtained from the Internaional Jojoba Export Council (jojoba oils), the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (beeswax) and the Codex Alimentarius Commission (olive oils and some food vegetable oils).Disclaimer: The Handcrafted Soapmakers Guild, Inc. is providing this lye calculator to soapmakers free of charge. Every effort has been made to ensure that the SAP values used herein are accurate. However, even in the best case, the SAP values provided by reputable sources are acceptable ranges for each oil. The actual SAP value being used in the calculations is the average of the highest and the lowest acceptable level for an oil and is generally considered the norm for calculating the lye necessary for soap. That all being said, the HSMG is not responsible for any injuries, losses or other damages that may result from using the information provided herein. | |||||||
