Description
Pancreatin is a mixture of digestive enzymes produced by the exocrine cells of the pancreas. It is composed of amylase, lipase and protease. The trypsin found in pancreatin works to hydrolyze proteins into oligopeptides; amylase hydrolyzes starches into oligosaccharides and the disaccharide maltose; and lipase hydrolyzes triglycerides into fatty acids and glycerols.
