Yellow bile and black bile were two of the four vital fluids or humours of ancient and medieval medicine (the other two were phlegm and blood). The Latin names for the terms gave rise to the words "choler" (bile) and "melancholia" (black bile). Excessive bile was supposed to produce an aggressive temperament, known as "choleric". This is the origin of the word "bilious". Depressive and other mental illnesses (melancholia) were ascribed to a bodily surplus of black bile.
Yellow bile is sometimes called ichor.

bile salt only emulsify fats, into smaller pieces for the enzymes to act on. they do not break fats down into simpler substances, hence they are not enzymes.
