Emulsifacation is the process of breaking down the fat into smaller pieces, making it easier to digest. Emulsifacation of fats helps in the digestion of fats into fatty acids and glycerol, which can be easily absorbed by the small intestine. It mostly appears in the small intestine and breaks down the globules apart into small droplets that are coated with bile salts and phospholipids

✴Emulsification is the process of breaking down of the large fat globules into smaller globules and make them water soluble.
✴Emulsification of fats takes place in the duodenum with the help of the bile juice produced in liver.
✴It is necessary as it is difficult for the enzymes (lipases) to act on large fat globules.
✴Emulsion of fats increases the efficiency of enzyme action to break down fats into fatty acids and glycerol which are easily absorbed through small intestines.
