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.
Protease enzymes are produced by the pancreas and activated in the stomach and small intestines where most of the protein digestion takes place. But the pancreas isnât all mighty. A diet filled with processed food, stress and pollution makes your body work very hard to provide the necessary enzymes for food digestion.
