Detailed explanation-1: -The sucrase component of the enzyme is responsible for the digestion of sucrose into glucose and fructose, and also for the digestion of maltose into glucose. The isomaltase component of the enzyme is selective for the -1, 6 glycosidic bond present in -limit dextrins.

Detailed explanation-2: -Enzymes in your mouth partially break down sucrose into glucose and fructose. However, the majority of sugar digestion happens in the small intestine (5). The enzyme sucrase, which is made by the lining of your small intestine, splits sucrose into glucose and fructose.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sucrase is a digestive enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of sucrose to its subunits fructose and glucose. One form, sucrase-isomaltase, is secreted in the small intestine on the brush border. The sucrase enzyme invertase, which occurs more commonly in plants, also hydrolyzes sucrose but by a different mechanism.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sucrase is the intestinal enzyme that aids in the breakdown of sucrose (table sugar) into glucose and fructose, which are used by the body as fuel.
