the lipase enzyme :)
Lipase. This enzyme comes from pancreas.
lipase enzyme
Lipase
bile in the small intestine emulsifies the fat for enzyme action
pancreatic juice
Most lipids that you consume in your diet are fats some digestion occurs that allows lipase a fat -digesting pancreatic enzyme to aid in digestion.
During emulsification process the surface area of fat increases million times. This allows to have contact of fat and fat spitting enzyme very well. Thus it helps in digestion of the fat.
The digestion of fat will begin in the small intestine, whereas the digestion of starch which begin in the mouth (the mouth contains the enzyme amylase, which helps break down starch)
The genetic defect causes a deficiency of the enzyme glucocerebrosidase that is responsible for breaking down a certain type of fat and releasing it from fat cells.
Hydrolytic enzymes that break down proteins are a class of enzymes called proteases.
Bile is a fat emulsifier that is made by the liver and is stored in the gallbladder. It is considered part of the mechanical digestion process of digestion.(Bile is NOT an enzyme)
Yes?
Glands aren't responsible directly for the breaking down of starch. The enzyme that is responsible for the digestion of starch is amylase. This enzyme is produced by the salivary glands in our mouth - salivary amylase. It's also made by the pancreas - pancreatic amylase.
