The balanced equation for the reaction of castor oil (triglyceride) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is:

Triglyceride + 3NaOH → Glycerol + 3Soap

This reaction is known as saponification, which produces glycerol and soap molecules from the reaction between the ester bonds in the triglyceride and the hydroxide ions in sodium hydroxide.
