Bile, produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder, contains bile salts, which act as emulsifiers. These bile salts are derived from cholesterol and are essential for breaking down fats into smaller droplets, increasing their surface area for digestion. Additionally, bile contains phospholipids and other components that aid in the emulsification process, allowing for better absorption of fat-soluble vitamins in the intestines.

Lecithin, bile acids and bile phospholipids act as an emulsifier in the intestinal tract. However, pancreatic lipase does not act as an emulsifier.

Bile is a fat emulsifier that is made by the liver and is stored in the gallbladder. It is considered part of the mechanical digestion process of digestion.(Bile is NOT an enzyme)
A fluid secreted into the small intestine during digestion is a bile. A bile contains cholesterol, emulsification agents, and phospholipids.

Bile is one example of an emulsifier in your body that is being secreted from the liver. It is temporarily stored and concentrated in the gallbladder before being released into the small intestine (duodenum).
Bile is stored in the gallbladder. When you eat, your gallbladder contracts and releases the bile to help with digestion.
