It is the mixing of fat with bile, that causes small droplets of fat to form rather than one big blob. This is useful because the enzyme secreted by the pancreas, pancreatic lipase, that breaks down fat works better on the greater surface area produced by lots of little droplets of fat.

How are fats emulsified in the gastrointestinal tract?
By the Liver.
Spherical complexes of emulsified fats are known as?
micelles
What are emulsified fats?
Emulsified fats are those that are broken down into very tiny bits. It happens in the human body when we eat fatty foods. Bile made by the liver does a good job of it and the enzymes then act on them so they can be taken into the body. If the gall balder (stores bile) is removed, people with this then have a big problem and a really big 'problem' as most goes out as it came it.Another example is familiar to those who still wash dishes by hand as detergent is a great emulsifier.
What does steapsin do?
Steapsin acts on emulsified fats and convert them to fatty acids and glycerol.
What thing help in emulsification of fats?
In the small intestine of digestive system the lipids are emulsified by the action of bile from liver.
What is a characteristic of emulsion?
Emulsified fats are soft shortenings that spread easily throughout a batter and quickly coat particles of sugar and flour.
The human body stores fats as what?
Fat is stored as fat in the specialised fat-carrying cells. Bear in mind that this is not fat that has come straight from your bacon and cheese sandwich. The fat travels into the stomach, and out where it is emulsified by the bile from the liver, and is then digested by lipase in the small intestine. It is broken down into soluble fatty acids and glycerol. Fats may be synthesised by the body, and are then stored.
What does the small intestine do in a ruminant digestive system?
In the small intestine, carbohydrates, fats and proteins are being emulsified with the help of some digestive enzymes.
What must happen to fat before it can be chemically digested?
Fats must be emulsified (broken down into small droplets) by bile in the duodenum before they can be digested.
What pancreatic enzyme digests fats?
Pancreatic ;ipase helps in the digestion of fats to fatty acids and glycerol. Fats are emulsified by the bile produced by the liver producing fat globules. The fat globules are further digested by lipase to form fatty acids and glycerol. Fats are digested at the small intestine.
Process to break fat particles into smaller pieces?
emulsification. fats are emulsified by bile, this lowers the surface tension for enzyme lipase to act on it on Ph8.5 to produce fatty acids and glycerol.
What does fats and oil Give to the body?
fat provides warmth and it stores nutrients in case the body needs them.
