Fungal diastase: It is also known as fungal amylase, operates through a sophisticated mechanism of starch hydrolysis. Upon encountering starch, the enzyme binds to its substrate and initiates the hydrolysis process by breaking glycosidic bonds. This catalytic action leads to the progressive breakdown of complex starch molecules into simpler sugars, predominantly maltose and oligosaccharides. The enzyme’s specificity for starch enhances its effectiveness in carbohydrate digestion.

Pepsin: It is a gastric protease, initiates protein digestion by recognizing and binding to protein substrates. In the acidic environment of the stomach, pepsin cleaves peptide bonds, breaking proteins into smaller peptides. This hydrolytic action enhances nutrient absorption, preparing proteins for further breakdown in the digestive process.
