Digestive enzymes are made in the pancreas, not the small intestine.
The majority of enzymes are made in the pancreas and the small intestine. These include the carbohydrases, lipases and proteases which break down all the major molecules. Enzymes are also secreted in the mouth and stomach, altough fewer than in the pancreas / intestine.

What organ produce digestive enzymes?
Enzymes are secreted by several organs of the digestive system: the salivary glands, the stomach, the pancreas, and the small intestine. The digestive system is made up of the digestive tract-a series of hollow organs joined in a long, twisting tube from the mouth to the anus-and other organs that help the body break down and absorb food (see figure). Organs that make up the digestive tract are the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine-also called the colon-rectum, and anus. Inside these hollow organs is a lining called the mucosa. In the mouth, stomach, and small intestine, the mucosa contains tiny glands that produce juices to help digest food. The digestive tract also contains a layer of smooth muscle that helps break down food and move it along the tract. Two "solid" digestive organs, the liver and the pancreas, produce digestive juices that reach the intestine through small tubes called ducts. The gallbladder stores the liver's digestive juices until they are needed in the intestine. Parts of the nervous and circulatory systems also play major roles in the digestive system. .

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.
Where does digestive enzymes work?

What digestive enzyme does the small intestine produce?
The small intestine produces no digestive fluids. Its upper part (duodenum) is where the pancreatic enzymes (pancreas) and bile (liver, via gall bladder) are added to digesting food. In the lower part of the small intestine (jejunum) is where most food absorption takes place.

Does digestive enzymes will still function in the small intestin?
The small intestine is the site of work of some digestive enzymes that are secreted there. It is not an ideal site for the continued work of enzymes from the stomach, as the pH is not hospitable for the work of those gastric enzymes.
