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: -Lipid Digestion in the Mouth An enzyme called lingual lipase is produced by cells on the tongue (“lingual” means relating to the tongue) and begins some enzymatic digestion of triglycerides, cleaving individual fatty acids from the glycerol backbone.

Detailed explanation-4: -Gastric lipases are responsible for the digestion of exogenous lipid. Triglycerides are digested to diglycerides then followed by fatty acids. The duodenum secretes bile salts (BS), phosphatidylcholine (PL), and cholesterol (Ch) from the gall bladder and pancreatic lipases from pancreas.
