Fats and oils are composed of triglycerides; three molecules of fatty acids attach to a single molecule of glycerol. The alkaline solution, which is often called lye (although the term lye soap refers almost exclusively to soaps made with sodium hydroxide), brings about a chemical reaction known as saponification.he glycerin, a useful by-product, can remain in the soap product as a softening agent, or be isolated for other uses. Soaps are key components of most lubricating greases, which are usually emulsions of calcium soap or lithium soap and mineral oil.
