Abstract:
A method for the preparation of a fatty acid calcium salt product comprising:forming an admixture of reactive ingredients consisting of (a) a C.sub.10 -C.sub.22 fatty acid mixture having greater than about 45 wt/% of the C.sub.10 -C.sub.22 fatty acid content in the form of fatty acid glycerides; and (b) from about 10% to about 30% of the total admixture weight of calcium oxide;Adding water to the admixture in an amount between about 10% and about 100% by weight relative to the weight of said calcium oxide; andHeating said admixture to a temperature between about 150.degree. and 250.degree. C., so that said fatty acid glycerides saponify to form fatty acid calcium salts.
