It is droplets of fat contained in the stool. A fecal fat test shows how many fat globules are in the stool.

emulsification
It is called emulsification.
Adipose tissue is the connective tissue that contains fat globules in its cells. This type of tissue stores energy in the form of fat and provides cushioning and insulation to the body.
Steatorrhea is the term for excess fat appearing in the stool.
Bile is the non-enzyme substance that causes fat to be dispersed into smaller globules. Bile is a yellow-green liquid that is produced by the liver.
Fat globules are prevented from separating from the rest of the mixture primarily due to the presence of emulsifiers, such as proteins or phospholipids, which stabilize the mixture by reducing surface tension and creating a barrier around the fat droplets. These emulsifiers help to disperse the fat within the liquid, preventing coalescence and separation. Additionally, physical agitation during mixing can also keep the fat globules suspended in the mixture.
Homogenization
Fat globules are obtained through the emulsification of lipids, where fats are broken down into smaller droplets in the presence of an emulsifying agent, such as bile salts or phospholipids. This process occurs primarily in the digestive system, particularly in the small intestine, allowing for the efficient absorption of dietary fats. Additionally, fat globules can be formed in various food processing techniques, such as homogenization, which evenly distributes fat within a liquid.
compresses and emulsifies (breaks down) it.
Bile comes from gall bladder. It contains the bile salts. These salts are responsible for emulsification of the fat in your food. that means very fine fat globules are formed. this helps to increase the surface area of the fat. That helps the fat splitting enzyme to brake the fat molecule into three molecules of fatty acids and one molecule of glycerol.
