Which comes first on the grasshopper the small intestine or large intestine?

Where is maltase located in the human body?
Maltose isn't used inside the body but it can be used to sweeten many foods.Maltose is a disaccharide formed from two units of glucose. In order for the body to "use" maltose, it must be digested and absorbed in its monomeric form: GLUCOSE. When food passes through the stomach as chyme and passes into the small intestine's duodenum, this causes the small intestine to release disaccharidases (i.e. maltase), which are a group of enzymes that can digest disaccharides, such as maltose. Once maltose is broken down by maltase into two units of glucose, glucose is free to be absorbed by the gut.

The enzymes that digest dietary sugars are produced by the?
the small intestine. Pancreatic amylase, which is from the pancreas, enters the small intestine to digest the carbohydrates also, but the small intestine itself has many specific enzymes, including maltase, sucrase, and lactase. There is also an amylase from the saliva, which works in the mouth, but once the food (or bolus, now) enters the stomach, the salivary amylase stops working.
