What is emulsification? Which juice is responsible for emulsification of fats in our body?
Answers
Explanation:
emulsification (in digestion) The breakdown of fat globules in the duodenum into tiny droplets, which provides a larger surface area on which the enzyme pancreatic lipase can act to digest the fats into fatty acids and glycerol. Emulsification is assisted by the action of the bile salts (see bile).
The liver is the largest internal organ in humans and it plays an important role in digestion of fats and detoxifying blood. The liver produces bile, a digestive juice that is required for the breakdown of fats in the duodenum.
Answer:
Emulsification of fats Takes place in liver.
Liver secretes bile juice .
Bile is a yellow liquid made in the liver which is normally stored in gall bladder.
Bile is alkaline in nature and contains salts which helps to emulsify the fats.
Emulsification is the process of breaking down the fat into smaller globules making it easy for the enzymes to act and digest the food .
Emulsification of fats helps in digestion of fats into fatty acids and glycerol which an be easily absorbed by small intestine.
