ABSTRACT

This book contains updated material from some of the salient presentations at the Soaps, Detergents, and Oleochemicals (1997) and SODEOPEC (2002) conferences, including several new chapters. Like its two predecessors, Soap Technology for the 1990's and Soaps and Detergents: A Theoretical and Practical Review, this publication will be a valuable resource for those who are active in the increasingly interrelated and quickly changing fields of soaps, detergents, oleochemicals, and personal care products.
