Esters are used as softeners in molding and plastic industries, in artificial fragrances or scents, as solvents in pharmaceutical industries, as industrial solvents for making fats, cellulose, paints and varnishes, and used in making artificial food flavors that are added into food such as ice cream and sweets.

How does the hydrolysis of esters lead to the formation of soap?
Soap is formed by the hydrolysis of fats by lye, not the hydrolysis of esters. The lye strips the 3 fatty acids from the glycerine in the fats and reacts with the free fatty acids producing soap, this process is called saponification.
What do the processes of Saponification and esterification have in common?
Both saponification and esterification are chemical reactions involving the formation of esters. In saponification, esters are hydrolyzed by an alkali to form soap and alcohol, while in esterification, an ester is formed from a reaction between a carboxylic acid and an alcohol. Both processes involve the exchange of functional groups to create esters.
What is the purpose of methylated spirit in the making of soap?
Methylated spirit is used in soap making to dissolve fragrance oils and colorants before they are added to the soap mixture. It helps in evenly distributing these additives throughout the soap mixture, resulting in a more uniform and aesthetically pleasing finished product.

Can you kill germs with antibacterial soap?
Yes, that is the purpose of antibacterial soap.
What is the chemicals which give fruits their smell?
Such compounds are mostly esters.
What is a product of both fermentation reactions and saponification reactions?
Soap is a product of both fermentation reactions, which produce fatty acids and glycerol, and saponification reactions, where these fatty acids react with a strong base to form soap molecules.

Sense of audience and purpose :)
What is the purpose of mild dish soap and how does it differ from regular dish soap?
The purpose of mild dish soap is to effectively clean dishes without being harsh on the skin. It differs from regular dish soap in that it contains fewer harsh chemicals and is gentler on the hands.
What is saponofication?
alkaline hydrolysis of oils and fats i.e. esters of higher molecular weight is called as saponification. It is used to make soap. Sapo- is Latin for soap and saponification literally means "the action (-ion) of making (-ify + -ate) soap (sapon-)".
What the purpose of adding sodium chloride during hard soap preparation?
Adding sodium chloride soap is precipitated.
