This is called Cracking.
Glycerol is produced from the breakdown of lipids which are fats or oils
Salivary enzymes help to break down carbohydrates and fats in food during the process of digestion. They begin the chemical breakdown of food in the mouth, specifically targeting starches and some fats. This process aids in the overall digestion and absorption of nutrients in the body.
The process of bile is a physical one because it does not contain any enzymes that breaks down any fats. Lipase is the enzyme that breaks down fats but bile is only an emulsifier, which is a physical process, that combines bile with the fats.
The liver acts as an accessory organ in digestion by producing bile, which aids in the breakdown of fats in the small intestine. It does not directly participate in digestion like the stomach or intestines but plays a crucial role in the process.
Saponification most likely occurs in a basic solution, typically involving sodium hydroxide (lye) or potassium hydroxide. In this process, fats or oils are hydrolyzed into glycerol and fatty acid salts (soap) through the reaction with the alkaline solution. The presence of the strong base facilitates the breakdown of triglycerides, leading to soap formation.
Glycerol is produced from the breakdown of fats and oils through a process called hydrolysis. Lipases, enzymes that break down fats, catalyze the conversion of triglycerides into glycerol and fatty acids.
Bile helps in the breakdown of fats by emulsifying them, which means it breaks down large fat globules into smaller droplets. This process increases the surface area of the fats, making it easier for enzymes to break them down further into smaller molecules that can be absorbed by the body.

The position of the liver will directly affect the digestion process. The liver will usually secrete bile, which will help in the breakdown of fats.
FATS
breakdown of fats with bile
Internal toxins
Lipase
Moderate proteins, carbs, and fats.
the liver
Gallbladder is a small organ but has a very huge part in the digestion process of a human body. The liver located near the Gallbladder, excretes fluid that helps the Gallbladder tear down the fats.
