Freezing should have an effect on amylase. Amylase is an enzyme, which is therefore a protein, and has optimum conditions. Freezing it will severely slow it down, and I'm pretty sure will denature it, so yes it will completely reduce if not stop the effect of amylase.

Freezing does not denature enzymes, heat does.

How does the effect of freezing differ from the effect of boiling in salivary amylase and cellulose?

Freezing would denature salivary amylase by disrupting its molecular structure, rendering it inactive. However, boiling would also denature salivary amylase but much more rapidly and completely. Cellulose is not affected by freezing but boiling can break down its rigid structure, making it more digestible.
