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
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
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.
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)
Saponification is the process of producing soap. Refluxing is done in saponification to distill and remove fat droplets in order to complete the process.

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-)".
Saponification is the process of producing soap. Refluxing is done in saponification to distill and remove fat droplets in order to complete the process.
It is hydrolysis, the hydrolysis in basic medium is also known as the Saponification process.
The simplest answer is probably - "lye soap". In broader terms, the reaction of fats with bases (like NaOH) is called "saponification" and the product is soap. Saponification involves hydrolysis of triglycerides, which are esters of fatty acids, to form the salt (sodium salt if the base is NaOH) of a carboxylates. In addition to soap, such traditional saponification processes produces glycerol.
Yes. When fat is metabolized, it is broken down by a chemical reaction called hydrolysis.
Saponification takes place in places where fat is stored in the human body.
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.
