Lipids detergent-assisted solubilization

Once the desired mixture of lipid components is dissolved and homogenized in organic solvent, one of several techniques may be used to disperse the liposomes in aqueous solution. These methods may be broadly classified as (1) mechanical dispersion, (2) detergent-assisted solubilization, and (3) solvent-mediated dispersion. 

Bile salts Cholesterol derivatives with detergent-like properties used to solubilize cholesterol, assist in intestinal absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, and emulsify dietary lipids passing through the intestine to enable fat digestion and absorption by exposing fats to pancreatic lipases.
