It secretes juices containing enzymes that are capable of digesting all major types of food -- carbohydrates, fats and proteins. The pancreas is the first organ to begin digesting fats. It secretes pancreatic lipase, esterase and phospholipase, which break down chemically complex fats into simple, easy-to-absorb fats. Similarly, trypsin and carboxypolypeptidase break down proteins, and pancreatic amylase breaks down carbohydrates.
