 | | The very first enzyme that food encounters in the process of digestion is called ptyalin, an a amylase secreted by the salivary glands in response to the presence of food in the mouth. |
 | | The various digestive enzymes secreted by the pancreas are: trypsin, chymotrypsin, carboxypolypeptidase, lipase, amylase, cholesterolesterase, phospholipase, various elastases, and nucleases. |
 | | Results show that fungal digestive enzymes improve the digestibility and bioaccessibility of proteins and carbohydrates in the lumen of the small intestine, not only under impaired digestive conditions, but also in healthy human beings. |
