Amylases

Amylases are carbohydrate-digesting enzymes such as Alpha-Amylase (from Aspergillus oryzae) and Glucoamylase (from Rhizopus nitveus). Supplementation with amylases allows carbohydrate digestion to proceed during the time food is held in the stomach, which is usually about one hour. Glucoamylase breaks down the carbohydrates found in beans, peas, nuts, seeds, grains and vegetables such as beets, broccoli, pumpkin, and cabbage.

Proteases

Protease (from Aspergillus oryzae) and Acid-Stable Protease (from Aspergillus niger) are protein-digesting enzymes. Proteases, with the addition of water, break apart proteins to form smaller polypeptides.

Cellulases

Both Cellulase and Hemicellulase are vacuumed off Aspergillus niger. These enzymes are found in plants but are not produced in the human body. They digest only soluble fibers, such as cellulose, the chief constituent of the cell walls of plants. Hemicellulase is an enzyme that breaks down pectin, a non-cellulose polysaccharide commonly found in fruits and vegetables. The purpose of this enzyme is to increase the solubility of the fiber to increase its ability to bind water and toxins.

Lipases

Lipase, from Aspergillus niger and Rhizopus oryzae, are fat-digesting enzymes which split fats into monoglycerides and fatty acids.
