in esterification organic acid and alcohol react in the presence of acid catalyst ......in saponifiaction reaction ester reacts in the presence of acid or base catalyst to giva back alcohol and acid....
eg of esterification:- ch3cooh + c2h5oh=ch3cooh + h2o
eg of saponofication reaction:- ch3cooh = ch3cooh + c2h5oh
they are just opposite of each other...
hope this would be helpful friend
