About this book
On Digestive Proteolysis is by R. H. Chittenden. The text argues that more than simple test-tube study, or even experimental work on animals, is required in dealing with the changes which complex proteids undergo in gastric and pancreatic digestion. The text holds that understanding of proteolysis, of how the enzymes or ferments involved act, and of how the products formed are related, is dependent mainly upon an accurate determination of the exact changes in chemical composition.
The text says we may conclude that peptonization in gastric digestion is the result of distinct hydrolytic action, in which the original proteid molecule is gradually broken down into a number of simpler molecules, the proteoses and peptones. The text names peptones, that is amphopeptones, as the final products of gastric digestion. The reference notes cite, among others, a work titled On the Proteolytic Action of Bromelin, the Ferment of Pineapple Juice.
