Bile. Bile is produced in the liver by hepatocytes. Bile contains phospholipids and bile salts, emulsifying agents that are necessary for fat absorption and digestion. Importantly, the bile is also a route for excretion of cholesterol and bile pigments.holesterol is a hydrophobic molecule that is kept in solution in the bile by bile salts and phospholipids. Gallstones form when the level of cholesterol in the bile exceeds the capacity of the phospholipids and bile salts to keep it in solution.
