* Trypsin (a serine protease) is used in baby food to pre-digest it. It can break down the protein molecules which helps the baby to digest it as its stomach is not strong enough to digest bigger protein molecules. See the Related Link.

Is lipase used in the manufacture of baby food?

Yes lipase, but also protease is used in baby food


What are the disadvantages of enzymes in baby food?

Oh, dude, like, enzymes in baby food can break down nutrients, making the food less nutritious over time. Also, they can cause changes in flavor and texture, which might make your little one turn up their nose. But hey, at least they're all-natural, right?


What enzyme is used in washing powder?

Protease enzymes


How do enzymes help in baby food?

Wealso have an enzyme called rennin extracted from the stomach that usually clots milk to produce cheese


Why is protease used to predigest the proteins in some baby foods?

Because babies don't have the proteases to digest baby food, so they are pre-processed with proteases to break the food down enough for the baby to absorb the nutrients.


What substance used to break down food?

Enzymes, such as amylase, protease, and lipase, are substances in our bodies that help break down food into smaller molecules that can be absorbed by the body. These enzymes are produced by organs like the mouth, stomach, and pancreas.


What breaks down food into simple substances?

The process of digestion breaks down food into simple substances. This is achieved through the mechanical and chemical breakdown of food in the mouth, stomach, and small intestine by enzymes and acids, which convert complex molecules into simpler forms like sugars, amino acids, and fatty acids that can be absorbed by the body for energy and nutrients.


Name a use for both protease and lipase?

Protease and Lipase are both enzymes that are secreted during digestion. Protease enzymes break down proteins into amino acids, which can then be used by the body for growth and repair. Lipase enzymes break down lipids (fats and oils) into glycerol and fatty acid chains; which form cell membranes and can be respired to release a lot of energy (double the amount per mole of carbohydrate.


What chemically alter the nutrients changing them into a form that can be readily used by cells?

The process of digestion involves enzymes breaking down nutrients from food into smaller molecules that can be absorbed by cells. Enzymes such as amylase, protease, and lipase play a crucial role in this process by breaking down carbohydrates, proteins, and fats into forms that can be readily used by cells for energy and other functions.


What are bags of enzymes used for?

Enzymes outside of the body can be used for many things, such as pre-digesting baby food or in biological washing powder to break down fats and grease in dirty clothing.


In Digestion. Where is the enzyme protease made and were is it used?

Protease are a group of enzymes whose catalytic function is to hydrolyze (breakdown) peptide bonds of proteins; also called proteolytic enzymes or proteinases. Proteases differ in their ability to hydrolyze various peptide bonds. Each type of protease has a specific kind of peptide bonds it breaks. Examples of proteases include: fungal protease, pepsin, trypsin, chymotrypsin, papain, bromelain, and subtilisin. Proteolytic enzymes breakdown the protein foods to liberate the amino acids needed by the body. Proteolytic enzymes have been used for a long time in various forms of therapy and several clinical studies are indicating their benefits in oncology, inflammatory conditions, blood rheology control, and immune regulation.


What are the types of enzymes likely to be used in washing powders?

The protease enzyme is used in some washing powders. The protease enzyme usually comes from bacteria like Bacillus licheniformis or Bacillus subtilis and can be produced in fermenters which hold many litres of culture medium and bacteria.
