There is no universal standard in the way industry sources state saponification (SAP) values. However, it is fairly common to see SAP values stated in grams of potassium hydroxide (KOH) per kilogram of oil. SoapMaker makes use of SAP values stated in grams of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) per gram of oil.
