Dietary fats

An extremely poisonous colorless liquid or gas with a characteristic smell of almonds.

Cyanide

A linear molecule made up of two or more linked amino acids.

Peptides

Any complex biochemical catalysts produced by living cells that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself undergoing any change.

Enzymes

Involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates.

Enolase

Derived from animal products and sugar and contains the artery-clogging cholesterol LDL.

Saturated fats

An organic, often fragrant compound formed in a reaction between an acid and an alcohol with the elimination of water.

Ester

Catalyzes the hydrolysis of an ester.

Esterase

A chemical reaction in which a compound reacts with water, causing decomposition and the production of two or more of the compounds for example in the conversion of starch to glucose.

Hydrolysis

Controls hydrolysis.

Secreted along the gastrointestinal tract and break down Foods, enabling the nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream for use in various bodily functions.

Digestive enzymes

Found in the stomach and pancreatic juices and also present and fats in foods, aids in fat digestion.

Lipase

Found in saliva and in the pancreatic and intestinal juices, breaks down carbohydrates.

Amylase

Found in the stomach juices and also in the pancreatic and intestinal juices, helps to digest protein.

Protease

Enzymes that catalyze the various chemical reactions within the cells, such as energy production and detoxification.

Metabolic enzymes

An antioxidant that protects the cells by attacking a common free radical superoxide
