Why is starch not digested in the stomach?

Amylase is an enzyme that breaks down polysaccharides like starch into its constituent monosaccharides like glucose. This enzyme works best in environments like the mouth and small intestine where the pH is about 8. Amylase is secreted by your salivary glands for starch digestion in your mouth and by the pancreas for starch digestion in your small intestine. Amylase does not work in low pH environments and I think may be destroyed if the pH is low enough. This means amylase does not function and may even be destroyed in your stomach.
