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.

Why is starch present in boiled amylase?

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.

Why is there no amylase in the stomach?

Amylase is an enzyme that breaks down carbohydrates into simpler sugars. It is not present in the stomach because the acidic environment of the stomach is not conducive for amylase activity. Instead, amylase is produced in the salivary glands and pancreas where pH levels are more suitable for its function.
