How fat emulsification takes place in our digestive system.

Solution

Emulsification of Fat: Fat digestion or breaking down occurs only when the food reaches the small intestine. Bile juice contains bile salts that break down larger molecules of fat into smaller droplets. Lipase is the enzyme that digests fat droplets and converts them into fatty acids. Lipase is present in both pancreatic juice and intestinal juice.
