Amylase is the enzyme which breaks down starch.
Explanation:
- The digestion of starches begins in the mouth itself because starch is broken down by the amylase present in the saliva.
- However, it is the pancreatic amylase which is actually involved in breaking down the starches.
- Starch is broken down into maltose and some of glucose.
- After the mouth, the process of breakdown of starch occurs in the stomach and the small intestine.
