there are at least 2:
amylase (made in the pancreas) breaks carbohydrates into smaller molecules called maltose.
then another enzyme called maltase breaks down the maltose into individual molecules of glucose

Protease works on proteins (like meat, fish etc)
Lipase works on lipids (fatty acids)
Hope this helps!! xx

How does digestion of carbohydrates and proteins take place in your body?
The digestion of carbohydrates (starches and sugars) and of protein is so different, that when they are mixed in the stomach they interfere with the digestion of each other. An acid process (gastric digestion) and an alkaline process (salivary digestion) can not be carried on at the same time in an ideal way in the stomach. In fact, they cannot proceed together at all for long as the rising acidity of the stomach contents soon completely stops carbohydrate digestion and this is followed by fermentation.
