listen to the pronunciation of saponification
English - English
The hydrolysis of an ester under basic conditions to form an alcohol and the salt of the acid
The reaction of a metallic alkali (base) with a fat or oil to form soap
Reaction converting rosin into rosin soap - process in post-soldering cleaning processes allowing water to be used as a cleaner, rather than solvent
The breaking down of oils into very fine droplets called colloids; to hydrolyse a fat with alkali to form a soap and glycerol
the decomposition of fats and other ethereal salts by alkalies; as, the saponification of ethyl acetate
{i} act of converting into soap
A chemical decomposition of a paint's binder by alkali and moisture from a substrate (e g , new concrete or fresh plaster) Saponified paint may deteriorate, lose its adhesion, and become discolored
a chemical reaction in which an ester is heated with an alkali (especially the alkaline hydrolysis of a fat or oil to make soap)
The reaction between a caustic alkali (lye) and the fatty acids in a vegetable oil or animal fat which results in soap (see How Is Soap Made? and The Chemistry of Soap)
Hydrolysis of esters in the presence of strong soluable bases
The act, process, or result, of soap making; conversion into soap; specifically Chem
Action of an alkaline on fats forming soap
The reaction between fats and oils with KOH or NaOH to produce soap
the chemical process which produces soap During saponification, a fatty acid (in our case, the oils) and a base (we use sodium hydroxide - commonly known as lye) react with one another and neutralize into a salt (or soap)
The breaking down of oils into very fine droplets called colloids; to hydrolyze a fat with alkali to form a soap and glycerol
Alkaline hydrolysis of an oil or fat, or the neutralization of a fatty acid to form a soap [Top]
Reaction between oil/alkyd with zinc causing adhesion loss-soap formation
Hydrolysis of an ester in aqueous NaOH or KOH to an alcohol and the sodium or potassium salt of a carboxylic acid
