hi
however fats are mainly digested in the small intestine. The presence of fat in the small intestine produces hormones that stimulate the release of pancreatic lipase from the pancreas and bile from the liver which helps in the emulsification of fats for absorption of fatty acids.

Answer:-
Lipids, or fat, go undigested in your digestive tract until they reach your small intestine, where they meet bile.
Bile contains bile salts, which act as an emulsifier of lipids.
This breaks the large fat droplets into smaller droplets that are then easier for the fat-digesting enzyme pancreas.
Since fat takes the longest to digest, you can expect that a fatty meal will be fully digested in closer to 72 hours than 24 hours. You can further estimate that a fatty meal higher in carbs than protein will digest more quickly .
