What will happen if emulsification does not take place?

Answer:

To emulsify is to force two immiscible liquids to combine in a suspension—substances like oil and water, which cannot dissolve in each other to form a uniform, homogenous solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

An emulsion happens when small droplets of one solution (the dispersed solution, which is often oil based) are dispersed throughout another (the continuous solution, which is often water based).Emulsions are unstable by nature, so it’s normal for them to separate or break. Emulsification plays a vital role in the breakdown of triacylglycerol (TAG) fats in human digestion. When food reaches the stomach, it mixes with acidic secretions to produce chyme. Small amounts of chyme are then propelled by the pyloric sphincter into the duodenum of the small intestine to continue the digestion process.
