In our bodies, most of the fat digested in small intestine. Here, fat is first emulsified with the help of bile salts. The emulsification of fat converts it into small fat droplets which are then acted upon by the pancreatic and intestinal lipase. The lipase breaks the fat into fatty acids and glycerol.
