Answer:

Bile

Step-by-step explanation:

Bile is produced in the liver. Yellow-green alkali which helps neutralise acidity. And break down large drops of fat into smaller ones.

Sodium hydrogencarbonate also helps neutralise acidity in the chyme that comes from the stomach. It is found in the pancreatic juice. But it does not emulsify fats.

So ur answer could be bile
