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 the chemical catalysts that break down food into simpler nutrients so that it can be absorbed. These enzymes make up a crucial part of the digestive process known as chemical digestion and acts along with mechanical digestion (chewing and churning) to allow for maximum absorption.
