sucrase
![sucrase](../../images/sucrase.jpg)
Enzymatic reaction between sucrose (yellow) and sucrase (purple) yielding glucose (orange) and fructose (pink).
Sucrase is an enzyme secreted by the small Intestine which breaks down sucrose (ordinary "table" sugar), a disaccharide, into glucose and fructose, both monosaccharides, so that these simple sugars can be easily absorbed through the walls of the small intestine during digestion.
