There are thousands of enzymes in your body - it could not function without them.

Many enzymes are essential for the digestion of food, including lipase, protease, amylase, and the peptidases. Many of these are made in the pancreas.
Lipase is released mainly from the pancreas into the alimentary canal (gut) to help break down fat.

Amylase breaks down starches such as those in bread and fruit into simple sugars (see carbohydrates). There is amylase in saliva and in the stomach.
In the gut, the sugars maltose, sucrose and lactose are broken down by maltase, sucrase and lactase.
