ESTERIFICATION
1. Conversion of carboxylic acids to esters using acid and alcohols is called Esterification
2. Esters formed in this is used as flavoring agents in perfumes and toffees.
SAPONIFICATION
1. The alkaline hydrolysis of esters is called Saponification.
2. This itself is used in formation of soaps.

esterfication reaction: when an organic acid reacts with an alcohol in the presence of acid catalyst, it produces a sweet smelling substance called ester. this reaction is called esterfication reaction, e.g.,
CH3COOH + C2H50H ---------> CH3COOC2H5 +H2O
Saponification: ester reacts in the presence of an acid or a base to give back the alcohol and the carboxylic acid. this reaction is known as saponification because it is used in the preparation of soap.
CH3COOC2H5 -----------> CH3COOH + C2H5OH
