Amylase is an enzyme that catalyses the breakdown of starch into sugars.
It is not a nutrient.
When starch amylase and water are mixed together, the starch is broken down into simpler sugars, primarily maltose. After conducting the Benedict's test, which detects reducing sugars, a positive result indicates the presence of these sugars, confirming that amylase has successfully catalyzed the breakdown of starch. Therefore, the substance present after mixing is mainly maltose, along with any unreacted water and enzymes.
amylase breaks down carbohydrate
Yes, amylase is present in Proteus vulgaris. Amylase is an enzyme that helps in the breakdown of starch into simpler sugars. Proteus vulgaris is known to produce amylase as part of its metabolic activities.
Amylase
Sugar
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.
The Liver.
no
The substance that contains a starch-splitting enzyme is the pancreatic juice and saliva. The two types of enzymes that break down starch are pancreatic amylase and salivary amylase.
