HUMAN NUTRITION

Detailed explanation-1: -Fat digestion begins in the mouth where lingual lipase acts on the fat molecules. Activation of trypsinogen to trypsin aids in the protein digestion and not fat digestion. Small intestine acts as a zone where the majority of nutrients are absorbed and sent to different parts of the body via blood.

Detailed explanation-2: -The body begins breaking down fat in the mouth, using enzymes in saliva . Chewing increases the surface area of foods, allowing the enzymes to break down food more effectively. The most important chemicals that help with fat digestion in the mouth are lingual lipase and phospholipids, which turn fats into small drops.
