Bile is a watery fluid mixture containing bile pigments, bile salts, cholesterol, phospholipids, etc. Bile salts break the large fats into smaller ones, a process called emulsification. They also help in incorporating products of fat digestion (fatty acids and glycerol) into small, spherical, water soluble molecules called micelles
