Soaps make soluble in water fats an oils, forming specific micelles.
Saponification is the process of creating soap. It typically involves reacting a strong alkaline (such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, etc.) with a fatty acid or oil. The strong base reacts with the fatty acid to create a salt with a long hydrocarbon chain left over from the fatty acid or oil. Here's the reaction (using lye as an example): (hydrocarbon chain)-COOH + NaOH --> (hydrocarbon chain)-COONa + H2O When the cation bonds with the fatty acid/oil, it creates a new substance that possess the hydrophilic properties of the lipid hydrocarbon chain as well as the hydrophilic properties of the alkali metal (the sodium atom). Therefore, it can mix with both hydrophobic AND hydrophilic substances. Thus, if you need to wash away something greasy (hydrophobic), the hydrophobic chain of the soap will mix with the greasy substance, and a polar substance (such as water) can mix with the hydrophilic end of the soap as well...allowing you to mix grease with soap with water...and wash it away.
The synthesis of soap, which is known to chemists as saponification, is done with fat, and bases such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH). It does not involve acid slurry. Although, if you were going to try this at home, it might be a good idea to keep some mild acid on hand to neutralize the base, if your reaction gets out of hand or spills on your skin while it is still at a very high pH level.
Yes. When fat is metabolized, it is broken down by a chemical reaction called hydrolysis.
Emulsification is the process of breaking down large fat globules into smaller, uniformly distributed particles. It is an example of catabolic reaction.
dehydration reaction
Saponification takes place in places where fat is stored in the human body.
The term "Saponification" is an indication of what this reaction originally was used for: making soap. By boiling animal fat or lard with either potassium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide, the reaction, hydrolysis, produced glycerol and soap.
Saponification is the process of producing soap. Refluxing is done in saponification to distill and remove fat droplets in order to complete the process.
Insoluble soaps are not likely to exist, they won't work when not IN water. For more you can trust on this: his process is called saponification: fat + sodium hydroxide -> Sodium salts of fatty acid (Soap) + glycerol
Steroids and fat-soluble vitamins are classified as derived lipid since they can be inactivated by saponification reaction, the structure therefore is not ester type but it is an alcohol type.
Glycerin and soap are the bye-products of saponification. The saponification value of glycerine are values of the percentage of lye it takes to convert one unit of fat, oil or fatty acid into glycerin.
what happen when fatti acid react with the NaOH

The lard sample will require more KOH for complete saponification. This is because lard is a saturated fat, and therefore the molecules are more closely packed together. This means that there are more bonds that need to be broken in order to saponify the fat.

Glycerol is a sweet, clear liquid obtained from oils and fat as a byproduct of saponification and used as a solvent, antifreeze, or plasticizer,
Saponification is the hydrolysis of fat in presence of caustic soda (NaOH), the products are Soap and Glycerin CH2-CO-R1 CH2-OH R1-COONa | | CH-CO-R2 + 3NaOH --------> CH-OH + R2-COONa | | CH2-CO-R3 CH2-OH R3-COONa (Fat) (Glycerin) (Soap)
