Bile is a watery greenish fluid containing bile salts, bile pigments, cholesterol and phospholipid. Bile salts play a very important role in digestion of fats. As fats are insoluble in water they ente in the intestine as drops, within watery chyme. Bile salts which are partly lipid- soluble and partly eater-soluble emulsif the fat particles and as a result, fat drops acquire a greter surface area for enzymatic activity.
