What is a non-enzyme substance that emulsifies fats?
Lecithin is a non-enzyme substance that emulsifies fats. It naturally occurs in egg yolks, cheese, and butter. It can be purchased in liquid, gelcap, or granular form at natural health food stores. Dieters love lecithin because of its emulsifying effect on fat. Accompanied by an appropriate exercise program, Lecithin helps burn fat more quickly. Best results occur with 4,000+ mg daily accompanied with exercise. (See related Link)
What are fats called at room temperature when they are solid?
the presence of double boned carbons in fatty acid hydrocarbon chains and the degree of packing of fatty acid chains.
What structure produces substance that aids in the mechanical breakdown of fats?
the liver
What are bile acid sequesterants?
Bile acid sequesterants are drugs that act by binding with the bile produced by the liver. Bile helps the digestion and absorption of fats in the intestine. By blocking the digestion of fats, bile acid sequesterants prevent the formation of cholesterol.
What happens to fat when heated?
unsaturated fats (fats with on or more double bonds between atoms in the fatty acid chain) break down when exposed to a sufficient amount of heat. Saturated fats, which only have single bonds between the atoms in the fatty acid chain, break down at much higher temperatures than unsaturated fats.
Does the liver produce bile that emulsifies cellulose?
No, the liver produces bile that emulsifies fats.
this substance emulsifies fats in the digestive system?
Sodium taurocholate and sodium glycocholate are sodium salt and are the chief ingredient of the bile of mammals. Glycocholic acid is a conjugate of cholic acid with glycine. Taurocholic acid is a conjugate of cholic acid with taurine. These bile salts help to emulsify the fatty substances for absorption.
Produce by the liver this emulsifies fats to make digestion easier?
bile.
What emulsifies fats to make digestion easier that is produced by the liver?

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 food substance is in coke?
There is mainly sugar but coke also contains carbohydrate fats acid and many other chemicals
Where does the digestion of fats start?
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.
What does bile do to the food in the small intestine?
It breaks down fat, sugar, and any hard substances in the stomach and intestines. It emulsifies fats. That makes it easier for them to be digested and absorbed.
Does an acid or a base emulsify fats and oils?
Bases dissolves fats and oils by reacting with them to form soap. :) I'm not sure if dissolves is like the same thing as emulsify.... sorry.... Hope I helped! :)
