What is the significance of the emulsification of fats?

Answers (1)

Emulsification refers to the breakdown of larger fat globules in the duodenum of the small intestine into tiny droplets. This provides a larger surface area on which the enzyme pancreatic lipase can act to digest the fats into fatty acids and glycerol. Hence, it facilitates the digestion of fats.
