Saliva (salivary glands) and the pancreas both contain the enzyme (amylase) that breaks starches down into simple sugars.
starch can be broken down into simple sugars by the enzyme amylase
Bile and Amylase are the two enzymes that break down starch into sugars.
Peptidase does not have an effect on starch. Peptidase is an enzyme that breaks down proteins, not carbohydrates like starch. Starch is primarily broken down by enzymes such as amylase.
Saliva contains an enzyme called amylase, which breaks down starch into simpler sugars like maltose. When you chew food, the amylase in saliva starts breaking down the starch molecules into smaller sugar molecules, which makes the food sweeter as digestion begins in the mouth.

Bile and Amylase are the two enzymes that break down starch into sugars.
The salivary glands of the mouth (oral cavity) contains salivary amylases that break down starch and glycogen.
Saliva contains enzymes; in particular salivary amylase. Salivary amylase breaks down starch down in to simple sugars. More precisely, polysaccharides into maltose (a disaccharide). Saliva also starts the process of fat digestion; as it contains salivary lipases also. Enjoy!
Saliva contains enzymes that break down starch into simpler sugars like maltose. After adding saliva to a starch solution, the amylase enzyme in saliva breaks down the starch molecules into these simpler sugars, leading to a sweet taste in the solution due to the presence of maltose.
Saliva contains amylase, which breaks down complex sugars such as starch. However starch can't ever be broken down into proteins. They are fundamentally different, starch is a polysaccharide while protein is a polypeptide.
It breaks it down and turns it into sugars, and that is why, if you chew starchy foods for long enough, they start to get sweeter.
enzymes break down starch, they are found in your mouth, stomach, gut etc.
Peptidase does not have an effect on starch. Peptidase is an enzyme that breaks down proteins, not carbohydrates like starch. Starch is primarily broken down by enzymes such as amylase.
Amylase breaks down carbohydrates, starches, and sugars. Pasta is a form of starch and the breakdown of starch begins in the mouth.
