Detailed explanation-1: -It is the process of breaking down the complex fat molecules converted into smaller fat molecules by the bile salts secreted by the liver that will be easier to digest with the help of enzymes.

Detailed explanation-2: -When bile enters the small intestine, it will mix with the fat globules and will cause them to break down into smaller units called emulsion droplets. This process is called emulsification. Emulsification greatly increases the surface area of the fat on which the lipase can actually act on.

Detailed explanation-3: -The emulsification of fats takes place in the liver in which the larger fat molecules are converted into smaller fat globules. These salts are secreted in the liver and then stored in the gallbladder. They are then further released in the small intestine where the emulsification takes place.

Detailed explanation-4: -Bile salts help in emulsification of fats in small intestine. It mainly act at the duodenum part of the small intestine.
