Fats, such as the fats in milk, need to be digested by your body. They are broken down into fatty acids and glycerol by an enzyme called lipase. Gastric lipase, secreted by the stomach lining, has a pH value for optimal activity around neutrality and would appear, therefore, to be essentially inactive in the strongly acid environment of the stomach.
Types of digestive enzymes. 1  proteases and peptidases split proteins into amino acids. 2  lipases split fat into fatty acids and glycerol. 3  carbohydrases split carbohydrates such as starch and sugars into simple sugars such as glucose.4  nucleases split nucleic acids into nucleotides.ypes of digestive enzymes. 1  proteases and peptidases split proteins into amino acids. 2  lipases split fat into fatty acids and glycerol. 3  carbohydrases split carbohydrates such as starch and sugars into simple sugars such as glucose.
