What are the uses of saponification reaction?

Answer 1

The reaction of fatty acids with base is the other main method of saponification. In this case, the reaction involves neutralization of the carboxylic acid. The neutralization method is used to produce industrial soaps such as those derived from magnesium, the transition metals, and aluminium.....

Wet chemical fire extinguishers: To extinguish cooking oils and fats, we use a saponification reaction. This is because cooking oils and fats have a flash point which is above 37 degrees which render regular fire extinguishers useless.

Creating hard and soft soaps: By using different types of alkali in the process the type of the reaction product can be altered between hard and soft.

Using KOH: We can obtain soft soaps

Using NaOH: We can obtain hard soaps
