Can’t Correct Bad SAP in My Custom Oil

[Cathybeyer]

I am unable to correct the SAP for my High Oleic Interesterified Soybean Shortening in the calculator. I have tried numerous times to save the change and it will not take it. The SAP shown is correct for NaOH at .136, but apparently the number the Calculator wanted entered there was for KOH, which should be approximately .191 or .192. The specialty shortening’s SAP should match high oleic soybean oil.

The result is that my recipe is very low on sodium hydroxide. A multi batch of soap produced oil heavy loaves, now useless because of the colors that were used that will not blend for rebatching.

Can you help? I am completely reliant on the SMF calculator.

Can you enter it correctly, and then let me know the bad one, and I can delete that one.

The problem is there is only one field for SAP, and it is not labeled for KOH vs NaOH.

 

[Cathybeyer]

Can you add another field for SAP and label one for KOH and the other for NaOH?

 

[Cathybeyer]

Right now, I cannot even get into my own recipes to edit them. I’m getting error messages.

I managed to get back in. In the custom ingredients for the new entry, the program transferred the NaOH SAP number of 136 without the decimal in front. Something is not working right for people who enter information in the fields of the database. My concern is that like me, others will end up with unsafe soap.

So you added the SAP number of .136 and it didn’t ‘stick’? Or something else? I’m going to get this over to the developer but I have to understand what happened.

It would be so much better if I could send you a screenshots so you could see what I’m talking about. I entered .191 for the new SAP for KOH, and the program took the old number and moved it into the field for INS.

Sure, you could definitely send screenshots so I can send to the developer. Our support email is [email protected]
