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

Why is starch present in boiled amylase?
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.
What can be denatured by changes in temperature or pH?
enzymes
What factors affect the operation of enzymes and why?
Digestive enzymes break down the food we eat into smaller particles. In the mouth, there is salivary amylase which starts the break down of carbohydrates. Next, the stomach has pepsin which starts breaking down proteins. In the small intestine the pancreas releases pancreatic amylase (carbohydrates), trypsin (proteins), and several other important enzymes. Things that may affect the function of these enzymes may be pH and temperature changes. Enzymes can be denatured if they are placed in an unsuitable pH or temperature and therefore are unable to work. Hailey Amstrong
What Enzymes are responsible for breakdown of starches?
They are Broken down by Amylase Enymes.
What did extracellular enzymes and amylase do?
no one knows!
Denatured enzymes are the same as?
Denatured enzymes are the same as enzymes that can no longer function.
What enzyme dissolves starch?
Amylase enzymes.

What enzymes help break down starch into glucose?
amylase
How is salivary amylase active in the stomach?
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.
What can be denatured by changes in temperature or pH?
enzymes
What two things cause enzymes to malfunction?
Enzymes can be denatured by heat or acidity
What is the name of the enzymes in your mouth?
Amylase
What is responsible for metabolism?
Enzymes such as amylase.

What are amylase's enzymes for?
Amylase acts on starch.Amylase breaking it down to sugar,glucose.
What type of enzymes are in Tide?
Most likely protease and amylase enzymes.
