Soluble starch is a partially hydrolyzed (mostly by acid hydrolysis) starch, therefore it actually is a long-chain dextran.
Glucose monomers
When the starch is broken down, or hydrolyzed, the end product is glucose molecules.
The enzyme that hydrolyzes starch the fastest is the amylase enzyme. This enzyme breaks down the starch until there is only sugar left.

Starch is easily hydrolyzed, as in human mouth ans small intestine .

To detect starch hydrolysis on a starch agar plate, you can add iodine solution. Iodine reacts with starch to form a blue-black color, and if starch is hydrolyzed by the organism, the clear zone around the bacterial growth will indicate the presence of amylase, an enzyme that breaks down starch.
Hydrolysis of starch produces simple sugars. This simple sugars then pass through various mechanism to yield ATP molecules. Starch is a storage polysaccride.
Hydrolysis is involved in maltose to glucose digestion. Maltose, a starch, gets hydrolyzed into a couple remains of glucose in this carbohydrate digestion.
