The chemical break down of fats and lipids begins in the Duodenum. Here juices from the Pancreas are added containing enzymes of carbohydrase, lipase and protease. The lipase breaks down fats and lipids. Also at this point, bile is added which is an alkali. This neutralises the hydrochloric acid that has entered the duodenum from the stomach and emulsifies the fats.
