SOAPS AND PROTEINS 



Cinnamyl and allyl alcohols yield no gels with either of these 

 two soap series. Sodium linolate yields no gel with benzyl 

 alcohol nor with cinnamyl or allyl alcohol. 



3. Experiments with Diatomic Alcohols 



The solvation capacity of several sodium soaps in two di- 

 atomic alcohols, namely, trimethyleneglycol (1, 3 propandiol)

and ethyleneglycol, was next studied. The results for seven 

 sodium soaps of the acetic series and three sodium soaps of

the oleic series with trimethyleneglycol are shown in Figs. 

 35 and 36, and Tables XVI and XVII, which contain the ex- 

 perimental data. There is an obvious and large increase in
