Pancreatin [8049-47-6]

» Pancreatin is a substance containing enzymes, principally amylase, lipase, and protease, obtained from the pancreas of the hog, Sus scrofa Linné var. domesticus Gray (Fam. Suidae) or of the ox, Bos taurus Linné (Fam. Bovidae). Pancreatin contains, in each mg, not less than 25 USP Units of amylase activity, not less than 2.0 USP Units of lipase activity, and not less than 25 USP Units of protease activity. Pancreatin of a higher digestive power may be labeled as a whole-number multiple of the three minimum activities or may be diluted by admixture with lactose, or with sucrose containing not more than 3.25 percent of starch, or with pancreatin of lower digestive power.
