the small intestine is the site of the complete digestion of fats.
the upper part of the small intestine receives bile juice, which contains bile salt for breakdown of fats into smaller globules. thereby , increasing the efficiency of the enzyme action. This process is known as emulsification.
bile also makes the medium alkaline so that pancreatic lipase for other converts fats into fatty acids and glycerol.
the walls of small intestine secrete intestinal juice also containing enzyme lipase that finally converts the fats into fatty acids and glycerol.
