The enzymes a group of proteins secreted by or into the digestive tract and help to act on the ingested food to break it down to simpler compounds for absorption and assimilation. Some enzymes just speed up the work of other enzymes and are said to have catalytic effect. The enzymes may act as pro-enzymes. The enzymes are not always breaking down complex food particles but some also join simpler particles to make complex and storable food or tissue.
