Question

What is the significance of emulsification of fats?​

Answer 1

Bile salts help in the breakdown of oil droplets into small globules forming a milky emulsion. This process is called emulsification. This process facilitates further digestion of fats. Steapsin is a pancreatic lipase which acts on the already emulsified fats and converts them to fatty acids and glycerol.

Answer 2

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
