Carbohydrases refer to enzymes that catalyze the breakdown of carbohydrates into simpler sugars. They play a crucial role in various biological processes, such as digestion in animals and the metabolism of carbohydrates in plants and microorganisms. Carbohydrases improve processing efficiency, increase product yield, and support metabolic processes by converting complex carbohydrates into usable forms.
