Enzymes are the main type of chemicals which hydrolysis (breaking down of compound with the help of water) the macro-molecules such as polysaccharides, polypeptides, et cetera into smaller and simpler units.

For example, amylase hydrolyse polysaccharides into smaller units such as maltose and glucose; trypsin, chymotrypsin, pepsin are enzymes which hydrolyze polypeptides into amino acids, nucleases are the enzymes which help in hydrolysis of nucleic acids, et cetera.

Bile and lipases help in emulsification of fats.
