A09A A Enzyme Preparations Enzymes can be used therapeutically. Some are of animal origin (from the stomach and pancreas of food animals), some of vegetable origin and others of microbiological origin. Examples of the first type include pepsin and pancreatin, a mixture of amylase, lipase and trypsin (a protease) which catalyses the metabolism of proteins into smaller peptides and amino-acids. Pancreatin is frequently prescribed for patients with cystic fibrosis. 

Fucoidan extracted from the marine brown sea vegetable Undaria pinna-tifida has significantly induced osteoblastic cell differentiation and has potential in use as a functional food ingredient in bone health supplements (Qio et ah, 2009). Moreover, fucoidan from C. okamuranus (Phaeo-phyceae) protects gastric mucosa against acid and pepsin. Therefore, fucoidan can be developed as a potential antiulcer ingredient in functional foods (Nagaoka et ah, 2000 Shibata et ah, 2000). 

The following order has been adopted for this description In the first part, we shall study the coagulating enzymes, thrombin, myosinase, and rennet in the second part, pepsin in the third, the different trypsins, of animal or vegetable origin, paptain, bromelin, casehse, etc. in the fourth, the erepsins, intestinal erepsin, the nucleo-proteases, arginase, etc. in the fifth, the amid-ases and urease finally in a sixth and last part we shall describe the principal applications of these different catalysts to industry. 

We do not know, at the present time, a single polj eptid that can be hydrolyzed by pepsin, but we know a large number of them that are decomposed under the influence of the active pancreatic juice. We find peptolytic enzymes in the juice of vegetable and animal tissues. This sort of enz)rme is much more widely distributed than the secretorial enzymes. In the action of peptolytic enzymes on polypeptids there comes into play a number of factors. All the polypeptids are not equally sensitive to the...
