Product 1
Procedure
then adding a quantity of sodium hydroxide as a 2M aqueous solution (for quantity see Table 21) at the same temperature as the palmitic acid dispersion with stirring over a particular time (see Table 21 for the time of addition) thereby producing a clear solution with a pH of about 9.2 substantially containing sodium palmitate;
