ENZYME REQUIRED FOR NUTRIENT DIGESTION
Presented & Prepared by
Scholar Abeer Tahir Ansari
DIGESTION
The process
of conversion of complex
food substances to simple
absorbable form is called
digestion.
chemical digestion – hydrolysis reactions aided by enzymes
(mainly in the stomach and small intestine) chemically break
down food particles into nutrient molecules , small enough to
be absorbed . .
Mechanical digestion – muscular movement of the
digestive tract (mainly in the oral cavity and stomach)
physically break down food into smaller particles .
Liver
• Directly affects digestion by producing bile
• Bile aids in the digestion of fat
• Filters out toxins and waste including drugs, alcohol and poisons.
Gall Bladder
• Stores bile from the liver, releases it into the small
intestine.
Pancreas
• Produces digestive enzymes to digest fats, carbohydrates and
proteins
• Regulates blood sugar by producing insulin
Accessory Organs- The Glands
•Not part of the path of ingested food, but play a critical role in digestion. Includes
2. Hydrolysis
If an organic molecule is split by addition of water, the reaction is called hydrolysis. Three major types of food,
carbohydrates, lipids and proteins, are all digested by hydrolysis, but the enzymes catalyzing the reactions are
different in each case.
1. Hydrolysis
If an organic molecule is split by addition of water, the reaction is
called hydrolysis. Three major types of food, carbohydrates, lipids
and proteins, are all digested by hydrolysis, but the enzymes
catalyzing the reactions are different in each case.
Chemistry of Digestion
Hydrolysis digests foods:
1. Carbohydrates (starches) - become simple sugars
2. Proteins - become amino acids
3. Fats - become fatty acids & glycerol
4. Nucleic acids (RNA, DNA) - become nucleotides
Our food is made up of:
Our body needs to digest them
– turn them into a form that can be
absorbed into the blood and used by cells.
Enzymes make this possible.
CHO
Carbohydrates present in the diet
Polysaccharides Disaccharides Monosaccharides
Starch
Glycogen
Lactose
Maltose
Sucrose
Glucose
Fructose
Pentose
In GIT, all complex CHO are
converted to simpler
monosaccharide form which is
the absorbable form.
Site of Enzyme for Carbohydrate digestion
Enzyme for CHO digestion
Enzyme Produced By Site of Action Substrate Acting On End Products
Salivary amylase Salivary glands Mouth Polysaccharides (Starch) Disaccharides (maltose),
oligosaccharides
Pancreatic amylase Pancreas Small intestine Polysaccharides (Starch) Disaccharides (maltose),
monosaccharides
Oligosaccharidases Lining of the
intestine; brush
border membrane
Small intestine Disaccharides Monosaccharides (e.g.,
glucose, fructose,
galactose)
Digestion in the mouth
Digestion of CHO starts in the mouth ,upon contact with saliva during mastication.
Saliva contains a carbohydrate splitting enzyme called Salivary amylase, also known as ptylin.
Action of ptylin (salivary amylase)
• Location: Mouth
• It is a-amylase & requires Cl- ion for activation with an optimum pH of 6.7 (Range 6.6 -6.8).
• The enzyme hydrolyses a-1 4 glycosidic linkages deep inside polysaccharide molecules.
• However, phylin action stops in the stomach when the pH falls to 3.0.
Starch, Glycogen & dextrins (Large polysaccharides molecules ) Glucose, maltose & Maltotriose (Small molecules)
Shorter duration of food in mouth.
Thus it is incomplete digestion of starch or glycogen in the mouth.
Action of pancreatic amylase
Digestion in Duodenum
Food bolus reaches the duodenum from the stomach where it meets the pancreatic juice.
Pancreatic juice contains a carbohydrate splitting enzyme , pancreatic amylase (amylopsin)
similar to salivary amylase.
It is an a- Amylase
Optimum pH=7.1
Like ptylin, it requires Cl- ion for its activity.
It hydrolyses a-1-4 glycosidic linkages situated well inside polysaccharide molecules.
Note: Pancreatic amylase, an Isoenzyme of salivary amylase, differ only in the optimum pH of
action.Both the enzymes require chloride ions for their actions(ions activated enzymes)
Reaction catalyzed by pancreatic amylase
Starch /Glycogen Maltose/ Isomaltose + Dextrins & Oligosaccharides
Pancreatic amylase
Digestion in small Intestine
Notes: Main digestion takes places in the small intestine by pancreatic amylase
Digestion is completed by pancreatic amylase b/c food stay for a longer time in the intestine.
What are Disaccharides?
Reaction catalyzed by Disaccharides
They are present in the bush border epithelium of intestine mucosal cells where the resultant
monosaccharides & others arising from the diet are absorbed.
The different disaccharides are:
1. Maltase
2. Sucrase- Isomaltase (a bifunctional enzyme catalyzing hydrolysis of sucrose & isomaltose)
3. Lactase
Last 3 enzymes produced by small intestine. Following absorbtion, glucose, fructose, & galactose
transported to the liver where they are converted to glycogen.
Maltose Glucose +Glucose
Sucrose Isomaltose 3 Glucose + Fructose
Lactose Glucose + Galactose

Carboxypeptidase Pancreas Small intestine Peptides Amino acids &
peptides
• Aminopeptidase
• Dipeptidase Lining of
intestine
Small intestine Peptides Amino acids
1. Stomach
2. Small intestine
- pepsinogen converted to pepsin in the presence of HCL.
- Pepsin breaks some of the peptide bonds of some proteins.
- Pancreatic enzymes trypsin & chymotrypsin break proteins into smaller and smaller
units. The pancreatic enzyme carboxypeptidase breaks peptides into free amino acids.
Several enzymes produced by the small intestine further break peptides into amino acid
Amino acids- absorbed and transported to the liver.
• used directly by the liver to make liver proteins
• others converted to acetyl coenzyme A (used in citric acid cycle)
• other amino acids sent to various parts of the body for protein synthesis.
1. Proteases must be activated before being used
• Prevents them from breaking down pancreas (where they’re made & stored).
• Activation occurs when they come in contact w/ certain chemicals found in the small intestine.
Protein Digestion
Site of Enzyme for Fat Digestion At first large fat molecules are
converted into smaller globules by the action of
bile & then they can be hydrolyzed by lipolytic
enzymes. This process known as emulsification.
Lipase & esterase's
(called lipolytic enzyme)
Digestion, secreted from pyloric caeca &
intestinal mucosa & pancreas
Lipid Fatty acids & glycerol
Lipase
• No fat digestion –occurs in mouth
• Very little digestion- in stomach
• Most of the fat is digested in the intestine ( at pH 6.8-7.6)

1. Gastric lipase
2. Small intestine
1.Gastric lipase of stomach breaks down some fats.
1.Most fat digestion occurs in small intestine.
•bile emulsifies fat, exposing more fat to enzymes.
•Bile salts link fat molecules to water molecules;
(normally fats are hydrophobic).
•subunits now cross into microvilli
•subunits are reassembled into triglycerides, combined
with cholesterol, and transported to the circulatory
system.

Fat Digestion
Site of Enzyme for Nucleic acid Digestion
Nucleic Acid Digestion
Enzymes called nucleases break down nucleic
acids such as RNA (ribonucleic acid) & DNA
(deoxyribonucleic acid) into nucleotide
chains.
1. The pancreas produces ribonuclease and
deoxyribonuclease
2. small intestine produces nucleases that break
down nucleotides into smaller subunits.
Vitamins can be either water-soluble or lipid-soluble. Fat soluble vitamins are
absorbed in the same manner as lipids. It is important to consume some amount
of dietary lipid to aid the absorption of lipid-soluble vitamins. Water-soluble
vitamins can be directly absorbed into the bloodstream from the intestine.
Vitamins
Fat Digestion
1. Mechanical - act of chewing causes release of salivary amylase.
2. Neural - food in stomach stimulates vagus nerve, signal sent to brain, brain sends another
signal down vagus nerve for stomach to release gastric secretions.
3. Hormonal - e.g. the stomach releases the hormone gastrin when a protein concentration is
detected; gastrin circulates in blood, target cells are gastric glands which release gastric enzymes;
similar in small intestine and pancreas.

  • 2. DIGESTION The process of conversion of complex food substances to simple absorbable form is called digestion. chemical digestion – hydrolysis reactions aided by enzymes (mainly in the stomach and small intestine) chemically break down food particles into nutrient molecules , small enough to be absorbed . . Mechanical digestion – muscular movement of the digestive tract (mainly in the oral cavity and stomach) physically break down food into smaller particles .
  • 3. Liver • Directly affects digestion by producing bile • Bile aids in the digestion of fat • Filters out toxins and waste including drugs, alcohol and poisons. Gall Bladder • Stores bile from the liver, releases it into the small intestine. Pancreas • Produces digestive enzymes to digest fats, carbohydrates and proteins • Regulates blood sugar by producing insulin Accessory Organs- The Glands •Not part of the path of ingested food, but play a critical role in digestion.

  • 4. 2. Hydrolysis If an organic molecule is split by addition of water, the reaction is called hydrolysis. Three major types of food, carbohydrates, lipids and proteins, are all digested by hydrolysis, but the enzymes catalyzing the reactions are different in each case. 1. Hydrolysis If an organic molecule is split by addition of water, the reaction is called hydrolysis. Three major types of food, carbohydrates, lipids and proteins, are all digested by hydrolysis, but the enzymes catalyzing the reactions are different in each case. Chemistry of Digestion Hydrolysis digests foods: 1. Carbohydrates (starches) - become simple sugars 2. Proteins - become amino acids 3. Fats - become fatty acids & glycerol 4. Nucleic acids (RNA, DNA) - become nucleotides
  • 5. Our food is made up of: Our body needs to digest them – turn them into a form that can be absorbed into the blood and used by cells. Enzymes make this possible.
  • 6. CHO Carbohydrates present in the diet Polysaccharides Disaccharides Monosaccharides Starch Glycogen Lactose Maltose Sucrose Glucose Fructose Pentose In GIT, all complex CHO are converted to simpler monosaccharide form which is the absorbable form.

  • 8. Enzyme for CHO digestion Enzyme Produced By Site of Action Substrate Acting On End Products Salivary amylase Salivary glands Mouth Polysaccharides (Starch) Disaccharides (maltose), oligosaccharides Pancreatic amylase Pancreas Small intestine Polysaccharides (Starch) Disaccharides (maltose), monosaccharides Oligosaccharidases Lining of the intestine; brush border membrane Small intestine Disaccharides Monosaccharides (e.g., glucose, fructose, galactose)
  • 9. Digestion in the mouth Digestion of CHO starts in the mouth ,upon contact with saliva during mastication. Saliva contains a carbohydrate splitting enzyme called Salivary amylase, also known as ptylin. Action of ptylin (salivary amylase) • Location: Mouth • It is a-amylase & requires Cl- ion for activation with an optimum pH of 6.7 (Range 6.6 -6.8). • The enzyme hydrolyses a-1 4 glycosidic linkages deep inside polysaccharide molecules. • However, phylin action stops in the stomach when the pH falls to 3.0. Starch, Glycogen & dextrins (Large polysaccharides molecules ) Glucose, maltose & Maltotriose (Small molecules) Shorter duration of food in mouth. Thus it is incomplete digestion of starch or glycogen in the mouth.

  • 11. Action of pancreatic amylase Digestion in Duodenum Food bolus reaches the duodenum from the stomach where it meets the pancreatic juice. Pancreatic juice contains a carbohydrate splitting enzyme , pancreatic amylase (amylopsin) similar to salivary amylase. It is an a- Amylase Optimum pH=7.1 Like ptylin, it requires Cl- ion for its activity. It hydrolyses a-1-4 glycosidic linkages situated well inside polysaccharide molecules. Note: Pancreatic amylase, an Isoenzyme of salivary amylase, differ only in the optimum pH of action.Both the enzymes require chloride ions for their actions(ions activated enzymes) Reaction catalyzed by pancreatic amylase Starch /Glycogen Maltose/ Isomaltose + Dextrins & Oligosaccharides Pancreatic amylase
  • 12. Digestion in small Intestine Notes: Main digestion takes places in the small intestine by pancreatic amylase Digestion is completed by pancreatic amylase b/c food stay for a longer time in the intestine. What are Disaccharides? Reaction catalyzed by Disaccharides They are present in the bush border epithelium of intestine mucosal cells where the resultant monosaccharides & others arising from the diet are absorbed. The different disaccharides are: 1. Maltase 2. Sucrase- Isomaltase (a bifunctional enzyme catalyzing hydrolysis of sucrose & isomaltose) 3. Lactase Last 3 enzymes produced by small intestine. Following absorbtion, glucose, fructose, & galactose transported to the liver where they are converted to glycogen. Maltose Glucose +Glucose Sucrose Isomaltose 3 Glucose + Fructose Lactose Glucose + Galactose Maltase Sucrase isomaltase Lactase

Enzyme for Protein digestion Enzyme Produced By Site of Action Substrate Acting On End Products Pepsin Stomach chief cells Stomach Proteins Peptides • Trypsin • Elastase • Chymotrypsin Pancreas Small intestine Proteins Peptides Carboxypeptidase Pancreas Small intestine Peptides Amino acids & peptides • Aminopeptidase • Dipeptidase Lining of intestine Small intestine Peptides Amino acids
  • 15. 1. Stomach 2. Small intestine - pepsinogen converted to pepsin in the presence of HCL. - Pepsin breaks some of the peptide bonds of some proteins. - Pancreatic enzymes trypsin & chymotrypsin break proteins into smaller and smaller units. The pancreatic enzyme carboxypeptidase breaks peptides into free amino acids. Several enzymes produced by the small intestine further break peptides into amino acid Amino acids- absorbed and transported to the liver. • used directly by the liver to make liver proteins • others converted to acetyl coenzyme A (used in citric acid cycle) • other amino acids sent to various parts of the body for protein synthesis. 1. Proteases must be activated before being used • Prevents them from breaking down pancreas (where they’re made & stored). • Activation occurs when they come in contact w/ certain chemicals found in the small intestine. Protein Digestion
  • 16. Site of Enzyme for Fat Digestion At first large fat molecules are converted into smaller globules by the action of bile & then they can be hydrolyzed by lipolytic enzymes. This process known as emulsification. Lipase & esterase's (called lipolytic enzyme) Digestion, secreted from pyloric caeca & intestinal mucosa & pancreas Lipid Fatty acids & glycerol Lipase • No fat digestion –occurs in mouth • Very little digestion- in stomach • Most of the fat is digested in the intestine ( at pH 6.8-7.6) Fat Digestion

  • 19. Site of Enzyme for Nucleic acid Digestion Nucleic Acid Digestion Enzymes called nucleases break down nucleic acids such as RNA (ribonucleic acid) & DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) into nucleotide chains. 1. The pancreas produces ribonuclease and deoxyribonuclease 2. small intestine produces nucleases that break down nucleotides into smaller subunits.
  • 20. Vitamins can be either water-soluble or lipid-soluble. Fat soluble vitamins are absorbed in the same manner as lipids. It is important to consume some amount of dietary lipid to aid the absorption of lipid-soluble vitamins. Water-soluble vitamins can be directly absorbed into the bloodstream from the intestine. Vitamins
  • 21. Fat Digestion 1. Mechanical - act of chewing causes release of salivary amylase. 2. Neural - food in stomach stimulates vagus nerve, signal sent to brain, brain sends another signal down vagus nerve for stomach to release gastric secretions. 3. Hormonal - e.g. the stomach releases the hormone gastrin when a protein concentration is detected; gastrin circulates in blood, target cells are gastric glands which release gastric enzymes; similar in small intestine and pancreas. Integration & Regulation of Digestive Processes

Editor's Notes

  1. Digestive enzymes are usually synthesized as larger inactive precursors – zymogens Otherwise they would digest the tissues that synthesize them:
  2. 2 types of enzyme s are NB for the digestion of CHO Amylases =Convert polysaccharides to disaccharides Disaccharides= Convert disaccharides to monosaccharides which are finally absorbed
  3. Mastication…ptylin.
