Because bile juice emulsifies the big fat molecules to small fat molecules by forming micelles around it which is similar to action of soaps and detergents on dirt particles.

Emulsifying action
Explanation:
Emulsifying action of soaps is similar to the breakdown of fat globules into smaller ones with the help of the bile juice:
- Bile salts digestion of emulsified fats is a biological process similar mechanism to the soap emulsifying greasy dirt
- In the digestive tract during the process of emulsifying the fat molecules the bile salts can play a vital role
- The bile salts can increase the pH of the intestine with the help of bile juices
- This emulsification step converts the large fat droplets into smaller globules and smaller fatty acid chains which can now be acted upon by esterases and digestive enzymes of the pancreas
- People with damaged liver often show difficulty in digesting fat because of incapability of secreting bile juice, hence emulsification of fats
- Soaps or detergents behave like an emulsifying agent, they have both polar and non polar ends
- The polar end can react with water and gets soluble in water and the non polar end can react with the non polar grease
- Finally the soap molecules can surrounds the grease and makes it soluble in water because the other end of soap is soluble with water
