hydrolysis is a chemical process in which a molecule of water is added to a substance. Sometimes this addition causes both substance and water molecule to split into two parts. In such reactions, one fragment of the target molecule (or parent molecule) gains a hydrogen ion..
The digestion of food is an example of hydrolysis, as water helps to break down the compounds one has eaten. Soap is one product created by hydrolysis. When a triglyceride or a fat is hydrolyzed, glycerin is produced as well as fatty acids
