Bile is not considered an enzyme. Bile rather allows enzymes to interact more effectively with enzymes secreted by the pancrease. The way that bile does this is to help break fat into small droplets and surrounding these droplets. These droplets are called micelles. This provides increased total surface area of fat for pancreatic lipolytic enzymes to interact with. These primary enzymes that interact with the bile formed micelle are glycerol ester hydrolase (pancreatic lipase), cholesterol esterase, and phospholipase A2.

Bile is primary composed of the following: (1) bile acids, (2) bile pigments, (3) cholesterol, and (4) phospholipids.

What is the pH for the enzyme in the gallbladder?

The pH for the enzyme in the gallbladder, known as bile salt hydrolase, is approximately 6.5 to 7.5. This pH range is optimal for the enzyme to function effectively in breaking down bile salts.


What enzyme in bile juice found?

There are no enzymes in bile to the best of my knowledge. It is primarily composed of bile acids, bile pigments, cholesterol, and phospholipids. If enzymes do exist in bile they are in minut concentrations and are unnecessary for its functioning. The primary purpose of bile is to emulsify fats. What that means is they increase the surface area of fats so that enzymes may work on them more effectively. These enzymes are secreted by the pancrease. drazx is the original author of this answer
