## Page 12 Most lipids in our food are present as simple fats, i.e., triglycerides. The enzyme lipase plays an important role in the digestion of lipids. It breaks lipids into fatty acids and monoglycerides. Lipase is naturally present in the juices secreted by the salivary glands, pancreas, and stomach.
