Nutritional Analysis/ Nutritional Analysis 2/ Digestive Acids/Enzymes – Macrominerals and Microminerals

Here is a brief description of the terms related to nutritional analysis for digestive acids, enzymes

Digestive Acids/Enzymes:

1. **Platelets**: Platelets are not directly involved in digestion; they are a component of blood that helps with clotting.

2. **Chymotrypsin**: Chymotrypsin is a digestive enzyme produced by the pancreas that breaks down proteins in the small intestine.

3. **Elastase**: Elastase is a digestive enzyme produced by the pancreas that breaks down elastin and other proteins.

4. **Hydrochloric Acid (HCI)**: Hydrochloric acid is produced by the stomach and aids in digestion by breaking down food and providing an acidic environment for enzymes like pepsin to function.

5. **Lactase**: Lactase is an enzyme that breaks down lactose (milk sugar) into glucose and galactose, aiding in the digestion of dairy products.

6. **Lipase**: Lipase is an enzyme that breaks down fats into fatty acids and glycerol in the digestive tract.

7. **Pepsin**: Pepsin is an enzyme produced by the stomach that breaks down proteins into smaller peptides.

8. **Protease**: Protease is a general term for enzymes that break down proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids.

9. **Secretin**: Secretin is a hormone that stimulates the pancreas to release bicarbonate, which neutralizes stomach acid in the small intestine.

10. **Bile Acids**: Bile acids are produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder. They help emulsify fats in the small intestine for better digestion.

11. **Sucrase**: Sucrase is an enzyme that breaks down sucrose (table sugar) into glucose and fructose in the small intestine.

12. **Trypsin**: Trypsin is a digestive enzyme produced by the pancreas that breaks down proteins in the small intestine.

13. **Amylase**: Amylase is an enzyme that breaks down carbohydrates into simpler sugars. It is produced in the salivary glands and pancreas.

14. **Cellulase**: Cellulase is an enzyme that breaks down cellulose, a component of plant cell walls, although it is not produced naturally by the human body.

15. **Maltase**: Maltase is an enzyme that breaks down maltose (malt sugar) into glucose in the small intestine.
