    Starch is broken down into maltose by salivary amylase in the mouth and pancreatic amylase in the duodenum. Maltose is then broken down into glucose by the enzyme maltase in the villi of the small intestine. Proteins are broken down into peptides and amino acids by pepsin in the stomach and trypsin and peptidases in the small intestine. Lipids are digested into fatty acids and glycerol by pancreatic lipase in the small intestine.

    QUICK REVIEW

    Dr. Nuzhat[MBBS]
    Digestion of starch

    Starch → maltose → glucose


    ► by salivary amylase in the mouth Both converts it to
    ► by pancreatic amylase in the duodenum MALTOSE

    (Amylase works best in a neutral or slightly alkaline pH)

    ► Maltose is broken down to glucose by enzyme maltase; present in


    epithelial cells of the villi.
    Digestion of proteins
    • protein→ peptide→amino acid
    • There are many proteases (or proteinases) which break down
    proteins.
    1) Pepsin is secreted in the stomach.(works in acidic pH)
    2) Trypsin is secreted by the pancreas in an inactive form. (works in
    alkaline pH). Activated in duodenum
    3) Peptidase by small intestine
    Digestion of lipids:
    • Lipids are digested to fatty acids and glycerol by lipase( works in
    slightly alkaline pH)
    • Pancreas produces lipase
