Question

Quercetin-3-o-rhamno glucoside and quercetin-3-o-rhamnoside can be mediated by both human intestinal enzymes and by enzymes of the gut microflora

Answer 1

Chemical breakdown begins in the stomach and continues in the small intestine. Proteolytic enzymes, including trypsin and chymotrypsin, are secreted by the pancreas and cleave proteins into smaller peptides. Carboxypeptidase, which is a pancreatic brush border enzyme, splits one amino acid at a time.
