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.

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 proteins in food-?
The enzyme that speeds up the breakdown of proteins in food are called protease.
What do enzymes do with the digestion of food?
Chemical breakdown is one of the two types of digestion of food. It is the breakdown of complex molecules to simpler monomers. Chemical digestion takes place in the mouth, stomach, and small intestine of the human body. Enzymes play a major role in chemical breakdown. In the mouth, the enzyme amylase speeds up the breakdown of starch into sugar. In the stomach, gastric protease speeds up the breakdown of proteins to polypeptides and amino acids. Finally, in the small intestine, bile emulsifies fat and pancreatic fluids deliver enzymes such as amylase, protease, and lipase to break down starch, proteins, and lipids into glucose, amino acids, and fatty acids/glycerol respectively. Enzymes are key to the digestion of food.
Which body part has glands that make millions of enzymes to break up your food?
The pancreas is the only gland in the that produces and secretes enzymes for the breakdown of all three catagories of foods; proteins, carbohydrates, and fats.
What is the function of doudenum?
The main function of the duodenum is to break down the food when it enters the small intestine. It uses enzymes to assist with the breakdown of the food.
