Welcome to Annieâs Chamorro Kitchen! My name is Annie ~ food and I get along so well! Cooking and baking is more than a hobby for me ~ it's a passion. I come from the beautiful island of Guam, U.S.A., which is located in the beautiful southwest Pacific.
The digestion of different types of foods occurs in different areas of the digestive tract. Digestion of starch begins in the mouth with the chewing of food (mastication) and the production of amylases immediately breaking down certain starches.
Often the final steps of digestion take place in the villi of enterocytes. These enzymes are almost all hydrolases. The digestion of carbohydrates begins in mouth by the salivary amylase and continues in the small intestine by pancreatic amylase and the intestinal and mucosal oligo-and disaccharidases.he proteolytic enzymes of the pancreas, i.e. trypsin, chymotrypsin and carboxypolipeptidase, which are also secreted in inactive forms, continue protein digestion. The end products of protein digestion are amino acids, produced by the action of intestinal and mucosal dipeptidases.
