Bile salts don’t neutralize acid, they merely solubilize fats for easier absorption. The acid is neutralized primarily by the bicarbonate produced from your pancreas. Increased amounts of acid (or a decrease in pH) cause the release of a hormone called secretin from duodenal cells, which promote the secretion of bicarbonate from the pancreas.
Bile, produced in the liver and stored in the gallbladder enters the first part of the small intestine through a duct called the sphincter of Oddi. Bile salts are a huge buffer and neutralize/buffer the acid.
