title: Studies on the stability of pancreatic enzymes in duodenal fluid to storage temperature and pH.
abstract: The effects of storage pH and temperature on pancreatic amylase, lipase and trypsin in duodenal fluid were studied. All the enzymes were most stable when stored at --20 degrees C, while the optimum storage pH was found to depend on the particular enzyme under investigation.
