Abstrakt: The rate of enzymatic hydrolysis of starch in the intestine of albino rats was compared with the rate in vitro. It was found that although absorption produces no significant effect on the rate of hydrolysis, and although the composition of the enzymes acting the intestine and in vitro was identical, the rate of starch breakdown in vivo was much the higher. The higher rate of digestion in vivo may be due to “membrane” digestion in the intestine.
