(N/A) The food coming from the stomach is acidic in nature. Bile juice makes this food alkaline so that pancreatic enzymes can act upon it.
Bile salts present in the bile juice break down large fat globules into smaller globules,a process known as emulsification.
This increases the surface area of the fat,thereby significantly increasing the efficiency of lipase enzyme action.
