Question

Name the enzyme that emulsifies fat in the small intestine.

Answer 1

Emulsification of fats:

• Emulsification of fats during the digestion of food takes place in the duodenum of the small intestine.
• This process involves the breakdown of large fat globules into tiny droplets and the grouping of the smaller droplets to form clusters.
• Bile secreted by the liver causes the emulsification of fat globules in the small intestine.
