The result is soap, glycerin and water (no alkali remains). The saponification process is a simple one-step reaction with no waste generated: the glycerin is split off from the fatty acids, and the fatty acids combine with the sodium or potassium to form soap, while the hydroxide forms water. Alkali is made by running electricity through salt water. The alkali is either sodium hydroxide (lye) for bars or potassium hydroxide (potash) for liquids. The oil is a triglyceride, which means that three fatty acids of various carbon lengths are attached to a glycerin backbone.
