Starch is energy for our body, glucose can not be stored so it is stored as starch, but before this starch can be used as energy to our body, it must be turned back into glucose, this is done by amylase, it breaks down the starch back into glucose so it can be used.

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.
