According to a different answer to this same question, The optimum temperature of amylase is about 40 degrees C. This also makes sense because this temperature is a little bit higher than body temperature.

What is the opitmal pH for salivary amylase?
identify two pH values at which salivary amylase activity stop?
Does the optimum pH of salivary amylase differ from plant amylase?
Yes. Some plants are found to have amylase as well, such as those plants with high levels of starch, and they are the same types of amylase.
What is the main function of salivary amylase?
Salivary amylase is an enzyme that catalyzes the break down of starches (more specifically the breakdown of amylase and amylopectin into disaccharides and trisaccharides). Follow the link below for a more detailed description.
What is the optimum pH for amylase activity at pH?
The optimum pH of a bacterial amylase depends on the species of bacterium. One review of different species found optima ranging from pH 4 to 11.To take one example, the α-amylase from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (BAA) has an optimum pH of 6.Bacterial amylases are important in a number of industrial processes.
What is the optimum concentration of amylase?
it is unknown im afriad
What is the opitmal pH for salivary amylase?
identify two pH values at which salivary amylase activity stop?
What can be said about the digestion of starch in a salivary amylase solution at a temperature of 0C in regard to the optimum temperature of starch digestion?
well it equials to .09001084876 x 120909%
What pH does salivary amylase function best?
The optimum pH of salivary amylase is 6.8 (slightly acidic).
What are the best conditions in pH for amylase protese and lipase?
Amylase has an optimal pH range of 6.7 - 7.0 and an optimal temperature of around 37 degrees Celsius or 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. This is what would be expected of an enzyme that needs to be in its most active form in the saliva of the mouth.
Does salivary amylase contain sodium hydroxide or sodium carbonate?
No, absolutely not, it will not 'work' in alkaline (basic) solution. Salivary amylase (ptyalin) inactivates rapidly outside of its optimum pH 5.6-6.9
Does the optimum pH of salivary amylase differ from plant amylase?
Yes. Some plants are found to have amylase as well, such as those plants with high levels of starch, and they are the same types of amylase.
What is the effect of temperature on salivary amalyse activity?
Every enzyme has a temperature range of optimum activity. Outside that temperature range the enzyme is rendered inactive and is said to be totally inhibited. This occurs because as the temperature changes this supplies enough energy to break some of the intramolecular attractions between polar groups (Hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole attractions) as well as the Hydrophobic forces between non-polar groups within the protein structure. When these forces are disturbed and changed, this causes a change in the secondary and tertiary levels of protein structure, and the active site is altered in its conformation beyond its ability to accomodate the substrate molecules it was intended to catalyze. Most enzymes (and there are hundreds within the human organism) within the human cells will shut down at a body temperature below a certain value which varies according to each individual. This can happen if body temperature gets too low (hypothermia) or too high (hyperthermia).
What is the optimum temperature of bacteria amylase?
38 deg C
What are the differences between fungal amylase and bacterial amylase?
Enzymes from an organism are generally going to work best around the conditions that the organism tends to live. Fungi usually live in quite cool areas (think woodland) and in acidic soils. Bacteria can live anywhere generally and their optimum conditions could be anything.
Where does Amylase work in the gut?
In the mouth, salivary amylase works to break down cooked starch into maltose. The duodenum (first part of the small intestine), pancreatic amylase works to do the same. Amylase only works in these places because they provide the optimum pH conditions for amylase to work (range from pH 6 - 8).
Optimum pH of sweet potato amylase?
optimum pH of amylase from sweet potato is about 6.0
What is the pH optimum of alpha amylase?
The optimum pH is neutral, 7.
