Sodium glycocholate and sodium taurocholate, which are organic compounds found in bile, help lower the surface tension of large fat molecules, breaking them into smaller droplets. This action is referred to as fat emulsification.

Question

Accepted Answer

Correct. Sodium glycocholate and sodium taurocholate are bile salts that act like surfactants in the intestine. By lowering surface tension, they disperse large fat globules into smaller droplets, which is exactly fat emulsification.
