micelles

Tiny aggregates of fatty acids and monoglycerides formed by the detergent action of the bile acids on digested fats so that these materials can be made soluble and absorbed into the LACTEALS of the intestinal VILLI.

The MCR has been used to characterize micelles in the solution [21], But in the case of micelles, (a) the viscosity of the micellar solution is similar to that of the water, (b) the size of micelles in solution is usually a few nanometers, and (c) micellar solutions are expected to be free from contaminants.
