Emulsification is the process where:
Procarboxypeptidase and chymotrypsinogen become active enzymes.
Chyme is moved backwards and forwards across the surface of the small intestine.
Fat droplets are dispersed into smaller droplets.
Dietary fat is digested by lipase.
Fat droplets are dispersed into smaller droplets.
Producing smaller droplets of fat increases the surface area available for lipase and allows digestion to proceed faster.
