The role of BS during the lipolysis process. 1. Bile salt adsorbs at the oil droplet, leading to the removal of surface materials (proteins, emulsifiers) and promote adsorption of the lipase. 2. BSs break down larger lipid droplets into smaller ones ensuring efficient lipolysis 3. BS will assist lipase and co-lipase in the sorption onto the emulsion. 4. BS incorporates lipolysis products into mixed micelles, ensuring the transport of valuable components into the body.
