Soap comprises the sodium or potassium salts of various fatty acids, but chiefly of oleic, stearic, palmitic, lauric, and myristic acids. 

Pesticidal soaps are potassium salts of fatty acids. The most effective soaps are potassium salts of capric (C10), lauric (C12), myristic (C14), palmitic (C16), and stearic (C,8) acids (Ware and Whitacre, 2004). The chemical structure of potassium laurate is as follows ...

Natural soaps are the sodium and potassium salts of fatty acids. They are produced as a result of the interaction of a caustic alkali and a fat. A typical animal or vegetable fatty acid molecule consists of a long hydrocarbon chain with a terminal carboxyl group. For example in the case of sodium stearate, which was introduced as an example in section 1.6, the fatty acid is stearic acid and it has the chemical formula CH3(CH2)i6COOH. The chemical reaction of stearic acid and sodium hydroxide results in the soap sodium stearate, Ci7H35COO Na+. The commonly occurring fats are lauric, myristic, palmitic, stearic, oleic, etc. Common bars of washing soap will consist of a number of pure soaps. 

PROP Consists of aluminum, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sodium salts of capric, captyUc, lauric, myristic, oleic, palmitic, and stearic acids manufactured from fats and oils derived from edible sources.
