alcoholic preparations

alcoholic preparations
Why is an alcoholic and not an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution used in the soap preparation?

Because the fat (eg glyceryl tristearate) undergoing saponification is more soluble in alcohol, offering a more homogeneous (hence more rapid) reaction mixture.

Aqueous NaOH wd result in an emulsion, slower and messier. But I believe the aq system IS used commercially because it is cheaper…no alcohol recovery required, etc.
