The digestion of a triglyceride yields glycerol and three fatty acids. The release of fatty acids, which are acidic, will lower the pH of the solution.
La digestión de un triglicérido produce glicerol y tres ácidos grasos. La liberación de ácidos grasos, que son ácidos, disminuirá el pH de la solución.
