Enzymes are not the main cause of breaking down fats, and in Biology fats are used as a good energy source for cells. The main way you break down fats is when you are hungry your pancreas releases a hormone into the bloodstream called glucagon. This allows the release of fats to be used by your cells for energy.
If you worried that you are not effectively breaking down fats, then you should eat more vitamins and minerals, from Vegetables or Fruits and maybe cut down on the fatty proteins and eat lean meat like chicken.

What enzyme speeds up the breakdown of proteins in food-?
The enzyme that speeds up the breakdown of proteins in food are called protease.
What enzyme speeds speeds up the breakdown of proteins in food?
Peptidase is the enzyme that speeds up the break down of proteins found in food. Another enzyme is called pepsin.Protease
What enzyme speeds up the breakdown in proteins food?
Peptidase is the enzyme that speeds up the break down of proteins found in food. Another enzyme is called pepsin.Protease
What enzyme speeds up the breakdown of proteins in food?
Peptidase is the enzyme that speeds up the break down of proteins found in food. Another enzyme is called pepsin.Protease
What enzyme speeds up the the breakdown of proteins in food?
Peptidase is the enzyme that speeds up the break down of proteins found in food. Another enzyme is called pepsin.Protease
Why enzyme speeds up the breakdown of proteins in food?
Proteases are enzymes that speed up the breakdown of proteins.
What enzyme speeds up the breakdown of protein in food?
The enzyme which breaks down proteins (polypeptides) is called protease.
What enzyme speeds the breakdown of proteins in food?
Peptidase is the enzyme that speeds up the break down of proteins found in food. Another enzyme is called pepsin.Protease
What enzyme speed up breakdown of proteins in food?
Peptidase is the enzyme that speeds up the break down of proteins found in food. Another enzyme is called pepsin.Protease
What enzyme speeds up the breakdown of food?
It varies for all the food groups. For fat/lipid lipase breaks down,for proteins pepsin breaks down and for carbohydrates amylase.
Can you digest food out saliva?
Digest is a strong word so I am going to say no. Saliva can helps breakdown food compound but it is in fact not strong enough to fully breakdown or "digest" food. In fact, teeth and chewing helps saliva in breaking food down. Also, saliva can only breakdown carbohydrates compound. Proteins, fats and fibres need stronger and different enzyme. PS: saliva is essentially an enzyme
What chemical speeds up the chemical breakdown of food?
A substance that speeds the changing of food into a usable form* is called an enzyme. More generally, in any chemical context, a substance that speeds a reaction without itself being changed is called a catalyst._______________________________________*This changing of food into a usable form is called "digestion".
