Detailed explanation-1: -Bile salts break down larger fat globules in food into small droplets of fat. Smaller fat droplets are easier for the digestive enzymes from the pancreas to process and break down. The bile salts also help the cells in the bowel to absorb these fat droplets.
Detailed explanation-2: -Though bile juice is devoid of any digestive enzymes, it is required for the digestion of fats. The fats cannot be digested easily because they are insoluble in water and are present as large globules. Bile juice breaks down big fat droplets into smaller droplets.
Detailed explanation-3: -Emulsification is the process by which fat is broken down into tiny droplets. Bile juice contains emulsifying agents that help in the digestion of fat.
