Amylase is an enzyme that catalyses the breakdown of starch into sugars.
It is not a nutrient.

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.

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 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.
carbohydrates (starches)
Amylase
Maltase
Starch (carbohydrates) is broken down (digested) to maltose by salivary amylase.
