A substance that increases the solubility of fats to facilitate their digestion and absorption is?

The substance that increases the solubility of fats to facilitate their digestion and absorption is called a bile salt. Bile salts are synthesized in the liver from cholesterol and are stored in the gallbladder. When fatty foods are consumed, the gallbladder contracts and releases bile salts into the small intestine. Bile salts emulsify fats, which means they break them down into smaller droplets that can be more easily digested by enzymes. Bile salts also help to absorb fats into the bloodstream.
