Explain the steps involved in saponification.

1 Answer

Answer :

Saponification is the reaction that takes place between oil and sodium hydroxide during

the manufacture of soap.

The steps involved are:

1) Hydrolysis of fats or oil into carboxylic acid and glycerol.

2) Neutralization of the fatty acid by sodium hydroxide.
