'Glycerol' is the product formed besides soap that is obtained during saponification process.

Explanation:

  • Soaps are defined as a sodium or potassium salts of long chain fatty acids.  
  • When the triglycerides in fat or oil react with aqueous NaOH or KOH, they are converted as components namely soap and glycerol.  
  • This is referred as alkaline hydrolysis of esters. Since this reaction leads to the formation of soap, it is called the Saponification process.
  • This  reaction is exothermic in nature, because heat is liberated during the process.  
  • The soap formed remains in suspension form in the mixture.
