Bile is released from the liver to help emulsify fats, and pancreatic juice is released from the pancreas. This is a mixture of bicarbonate, to neutralise stomach acid and enzymes to catalyse the breakdown of nutrients in food. These enzymes include proteases, both active and inactive, amylase and lipase.
