Answer 1

Answer:

PEPSIN

It is commercially used enzyme. It is used as appetite stimulant or health tonics. This can be obtained from animal sources or synthetically prepared by recombinant DNA technology with the help of gene extracted for getting desired product.

Pepsinogen --> pepsin (in the presence of HCl) inside the stomach.

Proteins-->peptides-->proteases + peptones (in the presence of activated pepsin)

It is a proteinaceous enzyme produced by the gastric mucosal cells. It is used for digestion of proteins.

It is a proteolytic enzyme that is marketed in formulations and utilised for correcting dyspepsia and as health tonics.

Pepsin is also used in production of packed fruit juices. It is proteolytic and degrades complex proteins in to simple peptides and proteases making it clear looking liquid( non turbid).
