      What is the significance of emulsification of fats?

    Answer:

                      Fats are complex molecules which are present in food in the form of large globules that makes it difficult for enzymes to act on them. Bile salts present in bile (secreted by liver) break down fat molecules mechanically into smaller globules, i.e., emulsify the fats, thus, increasing the efficiency and making it easy for the fat digesting enzymes to act upon them.
