Saponification as defined by CHEMISTRY 122 - SYNTHESIS of SOAP:
Soap is produced by the saponification (hydrolysis) of a triglyceride (fat or oil). In this process the triglyceride is reacted with a strong base such as sodium hydroxide (lye) to produce glycerol and fatty acid salts. The salt of the fatty acid is called a soap.
