'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.
