text: The main enzymatic products of the exocrine pancreas are trypsin, chymotrypsin, lipase, and amylase.  Trypsin and chymotrypsin are proteases.  Lipase breakes down triglycerides.  Amylase is an enzyme that breaks down starches into simple sugars.  If the pancreas is not able to secrete amylase into the digestive system, your body will not be able to utilize all the complex carbohydrates that it normally would.  Keep in mind however, that amylase is also secreted in the saliva, so digestion of starches will not be completely eliminated.
