There are four main types of food enzymes: PROTEASES break down protein (meats, beans, etc.) AMYLASES break down carbohydrates (potatoes, pasta, cookies, etc.) LIPASES break down fats (olives, avocados, etc.) CELLULASES break down fiber (celery, carrots, etc.) Three amylases are essential to the digestion of carbohydrates: LACTASE breaks down lactose (milk sugar). SUCRASE breaks down sucrose (refined sugar). MALTASE breaks down maltose (molt sugar).
