Pepsin is the active protein-digesting enzyme of the stomach. Pepsin acts on protein molecules by breaking the peptide bonds that hold the molecules together. Digestion of protein is completed in the small intestine by the pancreatic enzymes trypsin, chymotrypsin, and carboxypeptidase. These enzymes also get some help from the brush border enzymes found in the small intestine.
Digestion of protein begins in your stomach with the aid of gastric juices. Through the action of a group of potent enzymes from the intestinal lining and the pancreas, digestion continues in the small intestine. From there, amino acids are absorbed into the bloodstream and transported throughout your body.arbohydrates are your body's preferred energy source and are found in the forms of starch, sugar and fiber. Digestion begins in your mouth where the process of chewing mechanically breaks food into small pieces.
