Sucrose D (+) glucose + D (-) Fructose
Thus rotation changes from positive to negative after hydrolysis. Due to this reason hydrolysis of sucrose is known as inversion and mixture after hydrolysis is known as invert sugar.

Enzymes found in human bodies are
Lipases: They remove the fats in the gut.
Amylase: It is present in the saliva. The role of amylase is to break down carbohydrates.
Maltase: These enzymes are found in the small intestine. It breaks down the sugar maltose into glucose.
Trypsin: These enzymes are present in the small intestine. The function of trypsin is to break proteins into amino acids.
Lactase: The function of lactase is to break down lactose into simpler sugars (glucose and galactose). Lactose is the sugar that is found in dairy products.

We can define enzymes as biocatalysts. It is important in biological processes like digestion, metabolism, and the synthesis of cellular components. If enzymes stop their functions, then the body can not generate enough proteins, which is important for survival. The examples of enzymes are lactase and amylase.
