1. Saponification means process of preperation of soap and esterification means process of preperation esters.
2. Saponification involves reaction between carboxylic acid and a base whereas esterification involves reaction between alcohol and carboxylic acid.
3.Esterification needs as a catalyst whereas saponification do not need.
Example of esterification: CH₃COOH + CH₃CH₂OH {tex}\xrightarrow{Conc\;H2SO4}{/tex} CH₃COOC₂H₅ + H₂O
Example of saponification : CH₃COOC₂H₅ + NaOH → CH₃COONa + C₂H₅OH
