Digestive enzymes are the enzymes that break down polymeric macromolecules into smaller building blocks to facilitate their absorption by the body.

Amylase -

Amylase is defined as a digestive enzyme that breaks starch into small carbohydrate molecules. This enzyme is produced in two areas. Firstly, salivary glands in our mouth generate salivary amylase that starts the process of digestion by breaking down starch and converting into maltose and smaller carbohydrate. Cells in pancreas also produce a different type of amylase, known as pancreatic amylase that travels via a duct to reach the small intestine. Pancreatic amylase finishes digestion of carbohydrates, producing glucose.
