To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The starch-digesting enzyme is called amylopsin. It appears to be very similar to ptyalin in its power to digest carbohydrates. This am^ylopsin completes the digestion of starch that was begun by the saliva. It acts upon starch with great activity. One part of amylopsin can change 40,000 times its bulk of starch to glucose. This can act only in alkaline solution, and if any abnormal 150 SUNCOOKED FOOD fermentation takes place in the digestive tract, producing a large quantity of acids, the dige...stion of starch is stopped. It is in- teresting to note that this enzyme is entirely absent from the pancreatic juice of infants. This explains why infants cannot digest starch. The second enzyme to be considered in the pancreatic juice is trypsin. This is a substance distinct from pepsin, but its action is the same. The chief distinction is that trypsin acts in an alkaline solution, while pepsin acts in an acid solution. Trypsin is much more energetic in its diges- tive power than the pepsin of gastric juice.
