In digestibility

Other important reactions that occur in digestion are desiHcation, causticization of Hquor, and precipitation of impurities. The reactive siHca in bauxite, for example that in kaolin, reacts with caustic to form soluble sodium siHcate [1344-09-8], Na2Si02... 

Another subclass of proteases attacks internal peptide bonds and Hberates large peptide fragments. Bromelain, a plant protease derived from the stem of the pineapple plant, can even produce detectable semm proteolysis after oral adrninistration (180). Oral therapy with bromelain significantly reduces bmising that stems from obstetrical manipulations (181). Bromelain—pancreatin combinations have been more effective in digestive insufficiency compared to either pancreatin or placebo (182,183). Bromelain may also enhance the activity of antibiotics, especially tetracycline, when adrninistered concurrently (184).

In the body, this reaction is reversed by the enzyme sucrase. This occurs in digestion, which makes glucose and fructose available for absorption into the blood. Honey bees also carry an enzyme that can hydrolyze sucrose. Honey consists mostly of a 1 1 mol mixture of glucose and fructose with a small amount of unreacted sucrose. 

In general, the sterols perform a structural function, for example as components of the lipid layers of membranes. The Cis, C19 and C21 steroids mainly perform an endocrine function. In other words they are hormones. The bile salts (C24-steroids) fulfil a functional role in digestion in animals.

A testament to the lower reactivity of silver compared to gold in digestive ripening is the longer reaction times. For the same concentration of material, it takes several hours to completely ripen the colloid. This may have a lot to do with the greater size of the initial particles provided by the SMAD, compared with gold. In order to...
