Carbohydrase enzymes are produced in your mouth (in saliva), pancreas and small intestine. Enzymes join monosaccharides together to form disaccharides (two monosaccharides) and polysaccharides (long chains of monosaccharides).Ĭarbohydrase enzymes break disaccharides and polysaccharides into monosaccharides (simple sugars). This is simple sugar, such as glucose and fructose. The basic building block of a carbohydrate is a monosaccharide.
CarbohydratesĬarbohydrates include glycogen, starch, sucrose and glucose. Once in the body, different enzymes use these raw materials to synthesise larger molecules. These molecules are too large to pass from the intestine into the blood, so digestive enzymes break them down into smaller molecules. Carbohydrates, proteins and lipids are large molecules that are needed by the body for growth, repair and metabolism.
