The term saponification refers to alkaline hydrolysis of esters.
Saponification is the term referring to the alkaline hydrolysis of esters. Esters can be converted back into carboxylic acid and alcohol by making them react with a base and water. This reaction is called saponification. Carboxylate ions are made rather than carboxylic acid due to the influence of basic conditions.
