Saponification of pique oil with NaOH
Accepted Answer
Saponification of pique oil with NaOH is a process of hydrolyzing the ester bonds in pique oil using sodium hydroxide. This process breaks down the triglycerides in the oil into glycerol and sodium salts of fatty acids, which are commonly known as soap. The reaction is typically carried out by heating the oil with NaOH in water. The resulting soap can be separated from the mixture by salting out.
