Answer:
The enzyme that hydrolyzes starch to maltose is alpha-amylase.
Explanation:
The amylase group of enzymes responsible for the breakdown of starches and glycogen to maltose. These enzymes are widely distributed in both animal and plant tissues. The salivary alpha-amylase enzyme mainly responsible for the enzymatic digestion of carbohydrates, converting these to maltose and maltotriose inside mouth during the process of mastication. Saliva contains ptyalin a form of alpha-amylase which can break large insoluble starch into soluble starch forms such as achrodextrin amylodextrin, and erythrodextin which further can be converted into smaller starch molecules such as maltose. The liner alpha 1,4 glycosidic linkage is broken by alpha-amylase enzyme.
