In the small intestine, fats are chemically digested by bile salts, which break them down into smaller droplets, making it easier for enzymes like lipase to further break them down into fatty acids and glycerol. Mechanically, fats are emulsified by the churning action of the small intestine, which helps mix the fats with digestive enzymes for better absorption.
The bile aids the digestion of fats by the process of emulsification. The importance of this process is that iy breaks down the large fat molecules, increasing the surface to ensure absorption for energy.
The change of state for fats when they melt is from solid to liquid. This is known as the process of melting, where the solid fat transitions into a liquid state due to an increase in temperature.
The by-products of saponification of fats and oils are soap (salts of fatty acids) and glycerol (also known as glycerin). Saponification is the chemical reaction between fats and a strong base (such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide) to produce soap molecules and glycerol as a result.
A stool fat test is used to evaluate the amount of fat in the stool, which can help diagnose conditions such as malabsorption syndromes and pancreatic disorders. It can also provide information about the effectiveness of digestive enzymes.
Fats or lipids or triglycerides.
By the Liver.
In the small intestine of digestive system the lipids are emulsified by the action of bile from liver.
Steapsin acts on emulsified fats and convert them to fatty acids and glycerol.
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.
Emulsified fats are soft shortenings that spread easily throughout a batter and quickly coat particles of sugar and flour.
In the small intestine, carbohydrates, fats and proteins are being emulsified with the help of some digestive enzymes.
Fats must be emulsified (broken down into small droplets) by bile in the duodenum before they can be digested.
When fat is emulsified, its surface area increases due to the formation of smaller fat droplets dispersed in the liquid. This increased surface area allows for better interaction with other ingredients, such as water or air, making emulsified fats ideal for creating smooth and stable mixtures like mayonnaise or salad dressings.
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.

Cheese is made up of proteins and fats. Proteins are broken down by a combination of stomach acid, or hydrochloric acid, and enzymes called proteases. Fats are broken down by a combination of bile, which emulsified the fat, and enzymes called lipases.
