    The demand for fats and oils in the soap industry

    Get PDF
    Approximately 95 percent of the saponifiable raw materials used in soap are animal or vegetable oils and fats, and 5 percent are rosin. Fats3 are natural compounds of fatty acids and glycerine known chemically as glycerides. Glycerides react with alkalies to liberate glycerine, while the fatty acids combine with the alkalies to become soaps. This reaction is therefore called saponification. Many characteristics of a soap depend on the particular kind of fatty acid used in its manufacture. Since different fats contain varying proportions of several fatty acids, the choice of a fat, or its substitute, for a particular soap depends on the proportions of its various fatty acids. Because many fats contain very similar combinations of fatty acids, there exist some almost perfect substitutes. Even the differences in characteristics of soaps produced by different fatty acids are for most purposes not so exclusive as to prevent a fair range of substitution among all fats. It is proposed in this study: 1. To give a short account of the technical suitability of various fats and oils for soap, 2. to report the factors which affect the prices of the more important fats and oils used in the soap industry, 3. to analyze the reaction of the industry to the price changes of its raw materials and 4. to discuss some other factors which influence the consumption of fats and oils by the soap industry.</p

    Alvorecer de uma nova ciência: a medicina tropicalista baiana The dawning of a new science

    No século XIX, o saber e o ensino médico e a assistência clínica, de caráter especulativo e elitista, entram em choque, no Brasil, com novas teorias da doença e do cuidado médico baseadas na parasitologia, bacteriologia e anatomopatologia e numa clínica experimental orientada para enfermidades tropicais dos pobres. O novo referencial teórico e social, que influi na política pública de saúde, entra em decadência quando é apropriado pela ideologia da inferioridade racial e cultural da população de origem africana. Duas novas disciplinas - antropologia física criminal e medicina legal - geram conhecimentos inéditos nos meios intelectuais e, ao mesmo tempo, são funcionais à ordem dominante, dando curso forçado a princípios e dispositivos de que a mesma elite usa para se perpetuar no poder. Essa construção híbrida é o legado de barbárie à civilização atual.<br>Medicine in 19th-century Brazil was a scientific field where traditional knowledge, academic teaching, and clinical care found themselves clashing with new theories of illness and medical care underpinned by pioneer disciplines like parasitology, bacteriology, and anatomopatbology and an experimental clinical practice focused on tropical diseases which afflict the poor. This new set of theoretical and social references which affected public health-care policy saw its decadence when it was appropriated by an ideology that argued that the Afro-Brazilian population was racially and culturally inferior. Two new disciplines- criminal physical anthropology and legal medicine- contributed to the development of specialized knowledge within intellectual circles. At the same time, they were placed at the service of the ruling order, reinforcing principles and devices that the elite utilized to keep itself in power. This hybrid structure constitutes the legacy of barbarianism which is sundering today's civilization
