Detailed explanation-1: -Lipase is an enzyme the body uses to break down fats in food so they can be absorbed in the intestines. Lipase is produced in the pancreas, mouth, and stomach.
Detailed explanation-2: -Lipase catalyzes the hydrolysis reaction and breaks down ester bonds of lipids and fats and converts into fatty acids, glycerol, and other alcohols (Melani et al., 2020).
Detailed explanation-3: -Lipases in the cells of adipose tissues break down the triglycerides so that fatty acids can reenter the bloodstream for transport to energy-requiring tissues.
Detailed explanation-4: -Lipases are digestive enzymes that catalyse the hydrolysis of fat (lipid, triglyceride) into free fatty acids (FFA) and monoglycerides, molecules that can be absorbed into the bloodstream [1].
