Lymph and droplets of triglyceride fat in a stable emulsion. See Lymph. Lymph forms a milky fluid taken up by special structures in the intestinal tract during digestion of food.

Greek = juice.

Chyle is a milky fluid absorbed by the lacteals from the food in the intestine during digestion; composed of lymph and emulsified fats

Chyle is a milky fluid (bodily fluid) consisting of lymph and emulsified fats, or free fatty acids (FFAs). It is formed in the small intestine during digestion of ingested fatty foods and taken up by lymph vessels specifically known as lacteals, unlike other components of digested food that are conveyed by veins. The lacteals are much better suited for the transport of FFAs away from the gastrointestinal tract.
