They are in your saliva, when you eat saliva gets produced, and the enzymes are used to break down the food partially before it hits your stomach, then the stomach uses HCl with other enzymes to break the food down even more.
AnswerHydrolytic enzymes (enzymes that break apart compounds) work by binding the substrate (the food in this case) to its active site. The enzyme will then break bonds in the substrate and make simpler molecules. This occurs many times with many enzymes.
A correction on the first answer: enzymes in your saliva (salivary amylase) breaks down starch (carbs), but the digestion process for carbohydrates does not continue in the stomach -- only proteins are digested in the stomach because the HCl denatures the amylase.
