Biochem/physiol Actions Pancreatin will convert not less than 25 times its weight of potato starch into soluble carbohydrates in 5 minutes in water at 40 degrees C, will digest not less than 25 times its weight of casein in 60 minutes at pH7.5 at 40 degrees C and will release not less than 2 microequivalents of acid per min per mg pancreatin from olive oil at pH9.0 at 37 degrees C.
Other Notes Contains many enzymes, including amylase, trypsin, lipase, ribonuclease and protease. The National Formulary (N.F.) and the U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP) specify amylase, protease and lipase only.
