Saponification is the name of the chemical reaction that produces soap. In the process, animal or vegetable fat is converted into soap (a fatty acid) and alcohol. The reaction requires a solution of an alkali (e.g., sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide) in water and also heat.

HEY..
Saponification, which is a kind of base-catalyzed ester hydrolysis:
fat or oil (ester of glycerol and fatty acids) + aquoeous solution of strong alkali (NaOH or KOH) --> soap (salts of fatty acids) + glycerol
Palm oil contains mostly palmitic (saturated C16) and oleic (monounsaturated C18 - double bond after C9) acid.
Coconut oil contains the largest proportion of lauric acid (saturated C12).
Olive oil contains mostly oleic acid.
