Answer 2

Grease is prepared by saponification of fatty acids with base.

• Saponification can be defined as a process that is used to make chemical soaps.
• In this process, fatty acids react with bases or alkalis to produce grease thickeners.
• Usually the fats used in this process are vegetable oils or animal fats.
• Saponification has been used in the industrial sector from a very long time to generate grease.
