where and how do butter and ghee taken in your diet get digested. Don't copy from Google
Answers
The first hint you will get is is that they both contain large amount of fat. this fat rich food goes from mouth to stomach being undigested. The stomach passes on this fat rich food in the small intestine. the small intestine is the site for complete digestion including the breakdown of fat. It receives digestive juices from liver and pancreas. from liver the bile juice accomplishes this in addition to reacting on fats fats are present in the intestine in the form of large globules which makes it difficult for enzymes to act on them. Bile salts break them down into smaller globules increasing the efficiency of enzyme action. The pancreas juice also contains enzymes like trypsin for digesting protein and lipase for breaking down the emulsified fats thus, small intestine is the final site for the digestion of butter and ghee
Answer:
Hi........
Explanation:
Butter is a fat product and gets digested in the small intestine. The bile juice secreted by the liver contains bile salts that break down large fat globules into smaller globules, so as to increase their surface area for the action of lipase. This process is referred to as emulsification of fats.
