What enzyme in bile juice found?
There are no enzymes in bile to the best of my knowledge. It is primarily composed of bile acids, bile pigments, cholesterol, and phospholipids. If enzymes do exist in bile they are in minut concentrations and are unnecessary for its functioning. The primary purpose of bile is to emulsify fats. What that means is they increase the surface area of fats so that enzymes may work on them more effectively. These enzymes are secreted by the pancrease. drazx is the original author of this answer
