Study Notes
Salivary Digestion
- Salivary glands produce saliva, a watery secretion.
- Saliva contains 99% water.
- Saliva contains salivary amylase.
- Salivary amylase hydrolyzes starch to maltose.
- Saliva contains other mineral salts like sodium hydrogen carbonate.
- Saliva plays a role in carbohydrate digestion.
- Saliva does not affect proteins or fats.
- Mucin in saliva binds food particles.
- Mucin lubricates food for swallowing.
- Saliva has an optimal pH for salivary amylase action of 6.5-7.5.
Hydrolytic Enzymes
- Hydrolytic enzymes are naturally occurring.
- Hydrolytic enzymes catalyze hydrolysis.
- Enzymes break down complex food molecules into simpler forms.
- Hydrolytic enzymes convert colloidal food molecules into simple non-colloidal solutes.
- They catalyze the hydrolysis of proteins into amino acids, starches to monosaccharides, and fats to acyl glycerols.
Digestive Juices and Enzymes
- Salivary juice contains amylase.
- It breaks down starch into maltose.
- Gastric juice contains pepsin, which breaks down proteins.
- Pancreatic juice contains enzymes like trypsin, chymotrypsin, carboxypeptidase (decompose proteins)
- Intestinal juice contains enzymes like maltase, sucrase, and lactase.
- Digestive juices and enzymes aid in the hydrolysis of various nutrients.
