Hydrolytic cleavage of whole milk fat with pancreatic lipase

Accepted Answer

Pancreatic lipase hydrolyzes the ester bonds in triglycerides (the main component of milk fat), breaking them down into free fatty acids and glycerol. This process occurs in the small intestine, where pancreatic lipase is released. The liberated fatty acids are then absorbed into the bloodstream for energy production or storage.
