Saponification
Process that converts fat, oil, or lipid into soap and alcohol
Saponification is a process of cleaving esters into carboxylate salts and alcohols by the action of aqueous alkali. Typically aqueous sodium hydroxide solutions are used. It is an important type of alkaline hydrolysis. When the carboxylate is long chain, its salt is called a soap. The saponification of ethyl acetate gives sodium acetate and ethanol:C2H5O2CCH3 + NaOH → C2H5OH + NaO2CCH3
