Enzymes secreted by the pancreas include trypsin, lipase, and others. These enzymes catalyze the breakdown of food particles (especially protein and fat) in the small intestine.
The enzymes that are secreted into the duodenum (part of the small intestine) for digestion are amylase, protease and lipase. On top of that, it also secretes hydrogen carbonate, but this may not be an enzyme.
Fats.

I'm not 100% sure on this, I got it from my science notes.

I think the enzymes (Pancreatic Amylase, Trypsin, & Pancreatic Lipase) help break down starch into sugars, proteins into simple proteins, & fats into glycerol + fatty acids.

If that didn't help, here's the exact equation written on the notes my teacher gave me:

Starch + Pancreatic Amylase ---> Sugars

Proteins + Trypsin ---> Simple Proteins

Fats + Pancreatic Lipase ---> Glycerol + Fatty Acids

Hope that helped!

Pancreas is both an endocrine and an exocrine gland. Endocrinic hormones released into the circulatory system (such as insulin, and glucagon), to control glucose metabolism.

The major portion of the ingested food is digested by enzymes secreted by the exocrine pancreas.

A) Proteolytic enzymes:

1) Endopeptidases

-Trypsin

-Chymotrypsin

-Elastase

2) Exopeptidases

-Carboxypeptidase A

-Carboxypeptidase B

B) Lipolytic enzymes:

-Lipase

-Cholesterol esterase

-Phospholipase A

C) Amylolytic enzymes

-a-A mylase

D) Other enzymes

-Ribonuclease

-Desoxyribonuclease

-Collagenase

-Aminopeptidase

The products of pancreatic enzyme digestion are amino acids and oligopeptides.


proteins
Pancreatic enzymes help us break our food up into small enough molecules to be absorbed by the walls of the small intestine.
Pancreatic enzymes help to facilitate digestive processes.

The enzymes produces mainly help to break down proteins, however they break down all macromolecules
