Hey there! ☺☻☺

Saponification is a chemical process by which a fatty body, attached to an alkali and water, results in soap and glycerin. It is called soaps to the sodium and potassium salts derived from the fatty acids. 

They are susceptible to saponification all those substances that in their molecular structure contain traces of fatty acids, and are natural substances that we call saponifiable lipids. 

The most abundant saponifiable lipids in nature are neutral fats or glycerides. The saponification of a triglyceride is summarized as follows:
fat + caustic soda → soap + glycerin


Hope It Helps You! ☺☻☺
