Enzymes are globular proteins that control biological reactions. Digestive enzymes speed up the breakdown (hydrolysis) of food molecules into their âbuilding blockâ components.These reactions occur outside of the cells lining the gut.he main enzyme-producing structures of the human digestive system are the salivary glands, stomach, pancreas, liver and small intestine. Digestive juices and enzymes. Substance digested. Product formed. Saliva. Amylase. Starch. Maltose. Gastric juice. Protease (pepsin) and hydrochloric acid.
Digestive enzymes are a group of enzymes that break down polymeric macromolecules into their smaller building blocks, in order to facilitate their absorption by the body. Digestive enzymes are found in the digestive tracts of animals and in the traps of carnivorous plants, where they aid in the digestion of food, as well as inside cells, especially in their lysosomes, where they function to maintain cellular survival. Digestive enzymes of diverse specificities are found in the saliva secreted by
