Answer:

fatty acids and triglycerol.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hydrolysis reaction of fats or troglcerides, is the reaction of fats with water to form triglycerols and 3 fatty acids

It is the hydrolysis also reverse of condensation reaction. Most fats are glycerides-(triesters of glycerol). One chain of fatty acid (-COOH) is released and a molecule of three -OH groups(glycerol).
