Multiply your lye amount by 0.7322 when swapping Olive Oil for Coconut Oil (76 deg).
Inverse 1.3657 when swapping Coconut Oil (76 deg) for Olive Oil.
500 g swap · pure NaOH
- 500 g Olive Oil
- 67.00 g NaOH
- 500 g Coconut Oil (76 deg)
- 91.50 g NaOH
- Lye_A = Lye_B × factor
- 91.50 × 0.7322 = 67.00
