The jejunum primarily produces a variety of digestive enzymes, including maltase, sucrase, and lactase, which are crucial for breaking down carbohydrates into simple sugars. Additionally, peptidases are secreted to aid in the digestion of proteins into amino acids. These enzymes work in conjunction with those from the pancreas and bile from the liver to facilitate nutrient absorption in this section of the small intestine.
