ABSTRACT
For comparative research on soap and detergent, both product were produced. In the production process ratio 2:1 of blended oil and caustic soda was used. The blended oil comprises of acid oil and palm kernel oil. Builders and additives were also added to increase the cleansing and qualities of the products. These builders and additives include sodium silicate, bodium carbonate hydrogen peroxide, perfume and colourants. A comparative test were carried out on the soap and the detergent produced. The analytical test carried out on the products include: determination of moisture content, foamabilion test, free caustic acid test, free fatty acid test, pH value alycerol content and signification value. The results obtained from the analysis were tabulated for easy understanding and comparasim of both soap and detergent product produced.

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Soap and detergent are products which are commonly used in various homes and industries for domestic and industrial purpose respectively. Soap is a classical example of determine (cleaning agent) but different from detergent in processes of manufacture and chemical composition. Determine contains among other material of production surface active substance which enhances the cleaning action of water by penetrating and breaking up the oily or soiled film that binds dirt particles. This substance is also known as wetting agent which helps which helps to make the dirt float off.
Since both soap and detergent are both cleaning agent, for efficiency and quality reasons there is need for comparative research on both soap and detergent powder. The basic raw material for manufacturing of both soap and detergent is caustic soda or caustic potast and fats or oil in a chemical process called sponification which yields glycerol as a by-product.
