Why do you think it is necessary to break up the fat into tiny droplets?
In the human digestive system, Lipase is an enzyme that breaks down fat molecules. While Lipase is able to break down triglycerides (fat) into fatty acids and glycerol, this process occurs slowly. Bile salts break up large fat droplets into smaller droplets, effectively increasing the surface area, which increases the rate at which the fat is able to be broken down by Lipase.
What does the bile produced by liver break down?

Fatty acids and glycerol
Role of bile in the digestion of fats experiment?

Bile makes large fat molecules into very small one and that allows the enzyme lipase to further break down fat. It doesn't matter if it is pigs or humans.
What does fat break into in the digestive system?
