the small intestines
The small intestine receives enzymes from the pancreas. It provides digestive enzymes for the breakdown of all three types of foods; carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.
Amylase breaks down carbohydrates, starches, and sugars. Pasta is a form of starch and the breakdown of starch begins in the mouth.
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.
Trypsin and chymotrypsin break down proteins. Lipase breaks down lipids. Amylase breaks down starches and carbohydrates
are enzymes carbohydrates
Lysosomes are organelles that contain powerful enzymes to assist in destroying cellular debris and the breakdown of proteins and lysozymes are one of the proteolytic enzymes found in lysosomes that catalyze (breakdown) the protein wall of bacteria, especially gram positive bacteria, making lysozymes a vital part of our first-line defense against bacterial infection.

Enzymes are not carbohydrate molecules. They are protein molecules.
