Digestive enzymes are the enzymes that break down polymeric macromolecules into smaller building blocks to facilitate their absorption by the body.

Our digestive system does not absorb the food we eat, it absorbs nutrients. Food needs to be broken down from articles like steak and broccoli into nutrient pieces (from proteins), fatty acids and cholesterol (from fats), and sugar (from carbohydrates) along with vitamins, minerals, and a variety of animal and plant compounds.

If we don’t have sufficient digestive enzymes, our food cannot be broken down. That means even if we eat well, we aren’t absorbing good nutrition.

Digestive enzymes convert the food into smaller molecules that your tissues, cells, and organs utilize for many metabolic functions. It takes some time to complete this process and results in amino acids, glycerol, fatty acids and simple sugars. When you chew and break food into small pieces, special enzymes produced in different parts of your digestive region start acting to complete the process.

Amylase

Amylase is defined as a digestive enzyme that breaks starch into small carbohydrate molecules. This enzyme is produced in two areas. Firstly, salivary glands in our mouth generate salivary amylase that starts the process of digestion by breaking down starch and converting into maltose and smaller carbohydrate. Cells in pancreas also produce a different type of amylase, known as pancreatic amylase that travels via a duct to reach the small intestine. Pancreatic amylase finishes digestion of carbohydrates, producing glucose
