Enzyme therapy is an intensively developing area of medicine. Enzyme preparations (EP) are most widely used as a means of replacement therapy for diseases of the digestive system. The therapeutic effect, due to the hydrolytic activity of their constituent enzymes in relation to the main food substrates - proteins, fats, carbohydrates, is to compensate for the deficiency of their own enzymes, resulting from a decrease in the exocrine function of the pancreas or under unfavorable conditions for digestion in the gastrointestinal tract [1, 3].
