Description
The use of enzymes to break down proteins into smaller peptides or amino acids.
Technical
Enzyme-assisted breakdown of proteins involves the use of enzymes such as pepsin, papain, and trypsin to cleave peptide bonds, resulting in the formation of smaller peptides or amino acids. This process is influenced by factors such as pH, temperature, and the presence of inhibitors or solutes.
