These words all relate to the action of organic compounds breaking down into simpler components through either microbial fermentation or the use of enzymes. Zymolytic can also be substituted with terms like digestive or metabolic, which all refer to breaking down a substance into smaller parts. Overall, zymolytic is a technical term more commonly found in scientific literature, whereas alternative synonyms may be used in more everyday conversation to describe the same chemical processes.
