Which nutrient is digested by ptyalin?
Starch is digested by ptyalin.
What is the job of ptyalin?
The enzyme ptyalin ,or salivary amylase acts on starches and converts them to maltose.

What effect does heat have on ptyalin?
Heat can denature ptyalin, which is an enzyme present in saliva that helps break down starches into simpler sugars. When exposed to high heat, ptyalin can lose its shape and become less effective at breaking down starches.
What enzyme begins the hydrolysis of starch?

What is source of ptyalin?
moltosdudem
What enzymes helps in digestion of starch?
ptyalin
