THE AMYLOLYTIC ENZYMES OR CARBOHYDRATES

DIASTASE & AMYLASE

THE AMYLOLYTIC ENZYMES OR CARBOHYDRATES
- Are two well-known amylolytic enzymes.

- Salivary diastase (Ptyalin)
- Pancreatic diastase (Amylopsin)

EXAMPLES OF DIASTASE & AMYLASE

MALT DIASTASE

THE AMYLOLYTIC ENZYMES OR CARBOHYDRATES
- Is formed during the germination of barley grains and converts starch into maltose.

INVERTASE OR SUCRASE

THE AMYLOLYTIC ENZYMES OR CARBOHYDRATES
- Is found in yeast and in the intestinal juices. It brings about the hydrolysis of sucrose into glucose and fructose.

MALTASE

THE AMYLOLYTIC ENZYMES OR CARBOHYDRATES
- Causes the conversion of maltose into glucose, is also found in yeast and the intestinal juices.

ZYMASE

THE AMYLOLYTIC ENZYMES OR CARBOHYDRATES
- Is a fermenting enzyme causing the conversion of monosaccharides (glucose & fructose) into alcohol and carbon dioxide.

EMULSIN

THE AMYLOLYTIC ENZYMES OR CARBOHYDRATES
- Is an enzyme found in almonds, causing the hydrolysis of B-glucosides where amygdalin is hydrolyzed into glucose, benzaldehyde, and hydrogen cyanide.

MYROSIN

THE AMYLOLYTIC ENZYMES OR CARBOHYDRATES
- Is found in white and black mustard; it hydrolyzes sinalbin, sinigrin, and other glycosides
