Le mot [phase] a été mis entre guillemets car il ne s’agit pas d’une phase du diagramme ternaire.

Soaps with high beta "phase" contents are firmer than soap with high omega "phase" contents; they have an apparent high dissolution rate, and as a consequence they foam easily. Soaps of low relative molecular mass (e.g. derived from coconut oil, parm-kernel oil, etc.) are either not converted to the beta "phase" or only form it very slowly.

L'expression [phase bêta] est utilisée pour rendre compte de l'état physique du savon obtenu par refroidissement du savon lisse au-dessous de 42 °C ou par action mécanique exercée sur le savon solidifié au-dessous de cette température. Les savons dits à haute teneur en [phase bêta] sont plus fermes que les savons à haute teneur en [phase oméga] ;ils possèdent une vitesse de dissolution apparente plus élevée et, en conséquence, moussent facilement. Les savons à faible masse molaire,(savons d’huile de coprah, palmiste, etc.) ne se transforment pas en [phase bêta] ou le font très lentement. Le mot [phase] a été mis entre guillemets car il ne s’agit pas d’une phase du diagramme ternaire.
