explain digestion of fats
Answers
Fats are digested by lipases that hydrolyze the glycerol fatty acid bonds. Of particular importance in fat digestion and absorption are the bile salts, which emulsify the fats to allow for their solution as micelles in the chyme, and increase the surface area for the pancreatic lipases to operate.
Lipases are found in the mouth, the stomach, and the pancreas. Because the lingual lipase is inactivated by stomach acid, it is formally believed to be mainly present for oral hygiene and for its anti-bacterial effect in the mouth. However, it can continue to operate on food stored in the fundus of the stomach, and as much as 30% of the fats can be digested by this lipase.
Gastric lipase is of little importance in humans. Pancreatic lipase accounts for the majority of fat digestion and operates in conjunction with the bile salts.
RNA and DNA are hydrolized by the pancreatic enzymes (ribonucleases, deoxyribonucleases) into nucleic acids, which are further broken down to purine and pyrimidine bases and pentoses, by enzymes in the intestinal mucosa (nucleases).
