What are the names of the enzymes? There are many enzymes, however, the most notable enzymes and their main functions are as follows:
Protease, lipase, cellulase and amylase are the four main categories of food enzymes. Proteases digest protein; amylases digest carbohydrate; lipases digest fat; and cellulases digest cellulose. Nature's plan calls for raw food enzymes to help with digestion instead of forcing the body's digestive enzymes to carry the whole load. Raw foods contain these four enzymes which will break down our protein, fat, carbohydrate and fiber. (see Table 1.1)
