bug: fractionated coocnut oil properties are incorrect

[smcarroll2020]

bubbles should be 3 not 100
cleansing should be 3 not 100
hardness should 0
unless coconut oil is special and the addition fatty acid profile is ignored in favor of other in?

I’ll let the developer know- thanks! I looked at soap calc, to compare what they have:


So can you give me a link where your numbers are so I can verify?

Hi. Thank you for confirming that it's simple math of fatty acids profiles, and not something special or unique feature of coconut. I looked up fatty acid profile on three separate sites before submitting. I usually use 76 degree coconut oil, and was excited to try the fractionated oil. Initially I only looked at the properties section, but I'm studying the science of soapmaking as a Thanksgiving project, and when I did the fatty acid math, it didn't match the properties section of the table. Who knew I could sleuth like that? lol

the fatty acids profiles are correct. Its just the math for the properties is wrong.

Here's a picture from another site. I think mct = fractionated coconut oil?

fractionated coconut oil is mostly Caprylic/Captric Trigyleride and will produce a very soft soft, per:
Fractionated Coconut Oil (justasoap.co.uk)

I recommend the programmer uses the current fatty acid profiles, and then corrects the property fields to do the right math. I think mct oil might be really good for post-cook fatting.

MCT isn’t necessarily fractionated coconut oil, but we’ll dig into this. MCT oil can be palm oil, too, I think. We’ll have to look at this.
