Boiled amylase as you probably figure has been boiled and since all enzymes are protein, their molecular structure is affected by the heating process. In other words, the amylase has become denatured and will not break down the starch and thus, the starch will remain in its present form.
It depends on whether they are denatured or not.
enzymes do not effect our mouth cell.its completely harmless or even useful for that purpose.it is designed for a particular job.why do u mention amylase ,ithas no connection with acidic food.and by the way ,if the concentration of acid is high ,it will rupture the mouth and may effect the ezymes as well
The enzyme amylase is released in the mouth, referred as the salivary amylase, and in the duodenum of the small intestine by the pancreas, referred as the pancreatic amylase.
They are Broken down by Amylase Enymes.
bcz the salivary amylase is denatured due to acidic medium in stomach so to digest the carbohydrates we need new amylase.
The enzyme amylase is denatured by the high temp. The starch cannot be broken down
Amylase is not active in the stomach, the environment is too acidic. This is why the pancrease produces and secretes amylase into the duodenum after food leaves the stomach, to replace the amylase secreted by salivary glands and denatured by stomach acid.

Because the enzyme amylase was denatured. It was boiled first before putting the starch in.
Salivary amylase works well around pH 7 (inside the mouth), but inside the stomach are gastric juices which contain HCl. Since the HCl drops the pH of the solution significantly, it denatures the amylase so that it will no longer function as it normally would, breaking down starch and glycogen.
The stomach breaks down mainly proteins into smaller polypeptides. However, amylase will not break anything down in the stomach because it is denatured by the acid. Salivary amylase will break down amylose, a type of starch, but only in the few seconds of mastication. Once the bolus reaches the stomach, the salivary amylase is no longer active. Carbohydrates will be broken down again in the small intestine, where pancreatic amylase will make a return after the chyme is neutralized into a basic solution.

AMYLASE
Ptyalin is an alpha-amylase. It is the alpha-amylase found in saliva
