Digestive Enzymes Market Segmental Overview

The study analyses Global Digestive Enzymes market based on type, origin, application and geography. 

• Carbohydrase, protease and lipase are the major types of digestive enzymes covered in this study. Carbohydrase belong to that category of enzymes which break down carbohydrates and fibers into simple sugars. It helps digest those carbs found in beans, such as raffinose and stachyose, that commonly cause gas.
• Proteases are enzymes that break down proteins into amino acids and are also mentioned as proteolytic enzymes. These enzymes are used to make the most of digestion of proteins for improved nutrient uptake and lessened possibility of the proteins instigating an immune response that’s associated with certain food sensitivities.
• By origin, the market is segmented into microorganism, plant, animal and fungi. Enzymes obtained from animals, or pancreatic enzymes, hold the same possible pollutants that other non-organic, genetically modified animal by-products do. 
• The market finds application in dietary supplements, medical & infant nutrition, sports nutrition etc. Mounting health concerns and awareness about obesity among adults and geriatric populace is anticipated to increase the intake of digestive enzymes. Moreover, growing consumption by sports athletes is also likely to surge the market over the forecast period.
