Answer:
Saponification is a process that involves conversion of fat or oil or lipid into soap and alcohol by the action of heat in the presence of aqueous alkali (e.g. NaOH). Soaps are salts of fatty acids and fatty acids are monocarboxylic acids that have long carbon chains (at least 10) e.g. sodium palmitate.

Summary
Carboxylic esters hydrolyse to the parent carboxylic acid and an alcohol.
Reagents : aqueous acid (e.g. H2SO4) / heat,or aqueous NaOH / heat (known as "saponification").
These mechanisms are among some of the most studied in organic chemistry.
Both are based on the formation of a tetrahedral intermediate which then dissociates.
In both cases it is the C-O bond between the acyl group and the oxygen that is cleaved.
