Bile is a bitter yellow fluid that is secreted by the liver in order to emulsify fats and absorb fat-soluble vitamins (like A,D,E&K). Bile is primarily stored in the gall-bladder.

What is acid bile?

Bile acids are steroid acids found predominantly in the bile of mammals. Bile salts are bile acids compounded with a cation, usually sodium. In humans, the salts of taurocholic acidand glycocholic acid (derivatives of cholic acid) represent approximately eighty percent of all bile salts. Bile acids, glycine and taurine conjugates, and 7-alpha-dehydroxylated derivatives (deoxycholic acid and lithocholic acid) are all found in human intestinal bile. An increase in bile flow is exhibited with an increased secretion of bile acids. The main function of bile acid is to facilitate the formation of micelles, which promotes processing of dietary fat


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
