Abstract

A study determined the physicochemical properties (pH, temperature, Total Dissolve Solids (TDS), Electrical Conductivity (EC) and color) of 36 commercial soaps and detergent purchased from local markets in Akure, Nigeria. The soaps included: Toilet, medicated, glycerin, liquid and local black soaps. Standard methods were used in the study. From the mean results of pH (10.2), TDS (1433mg/L) and EC (2848μS/cm) were higher in detergents than liquid and bar soaps. Temperature of all samples were 30oC. Water samples were colorless, whereas all other samples were colored depending on the manufacturers.
