Globally, people are embracing eco-consumption, reducing waste, and promoting healthy consumption. They also pay attention to the ingredients of food, daily products, and cleaning products, and reject chemical products [9]. On the other hand, sheep tail fat is an ecologically pure raw material that has been used in the daily life of Mongolians since ancient times and is used in combination to treat some diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to use this wonderful raw material. Oils are classified as vegetable and animal fat oil by their derivation. The vegetable oils are liquid state and animal fats are solid state. Animal fat oil contains saturated higher carboxylic acids such as palmitic and stearic acids, while vegetable fats contain unsaturated higher carboxylic acids such as oleic, linoleic, and linoleic acids. Alkaline hydrolysis of fats produces higher carboxylic acid salts, it is named the soaps. This is called a saponification reaction [6]. Sheep tail fat contains a high value of protein. The caloric content of tail fat is 822.5 Kcal, which indicates that sheep tail is included in high-nutrient foods. The melting point of the tail oil is 380˚C, which is lower than that of other oils such as outer fat oil and inner fat oils due to its high content of unsaturated fatty acids [7] [8] [9].

Research was conducted to make liquid soap by selecting the most common sheep tail fat (TFO), outer fat (OFO), and inner fat (IFO) in Mongolia. The content of fatty acids in these oils was determined by GC-MS analysis, and the tail fat oil (TFO) had the highest unsaturated fatty acid content. Chemical analysis also confirms the accuracy of the highest iodine number. Maotsela, T., Danha, G. and Muzenda, E.

Low acidity in the determination of chemical parameters in soaps made of surface and inner fat indicates that the acidity is reduced when mixed with liquid oils, the main raw materials OFO and IFO. Low saponification and foaming indicate that OFO and IFO are not suitable for mixing with LO1. In this study, sheep tail fat (TF), outer fat (OF), and inner fat (IF) were used as raw materials from Tsetserleg sum, Arkhangai aimag. The fat samples were washed, cleaned, sliced and melted at 300˚C.

Therefore, it was confirmed the TFO is liquefied and relatively well digested by the body. Saturated fatty acids (C 17H 34O 2) were present in 22.3% of TFO’s, 22.79% of OFO’s, and 19.5% of IFO’s, respectively the approximate amount. The content of methyl stearate (C 19H 38O 2), a saturated fatty acid, was 33.65% the highest in inner fat oils (IFO), which indicates that the IFO is easily congealed.Maizul, B.
