Salivary amylase is an enzyme that catalyzes the break down of starches (more specifically the breakdown of amylase and amylopectin into disaccharides and trisaccharides). Follow the link below for a more detailed description.
Pancreatic amylase is a major digestive enzyme, which can hydrolyze starch into simpler sugars, like maltose and glucose, for absorption. The sugar is the most important source of energy supply.
Pancreatic amylase pH: Its optimum pH is 6.7~7.0.
Pancreatic amylase can break down the raw and cooked starches with high efficiency and speed. In the small intestine, the entire hydrolysis process will be completed within 10 minutes, since the pancreatic amylase and starch contact with each other.
Lack of pancreatic amylase
Even if the pancreatic amylase is insufficient, sugar digestion and absorption are both not affected. That is because the saliva containing salivary amylase can also digest starch into sugar.

Amylase is an enzyme that breaks-down starch. The function of salivary amylase is to begin the chemical digestion of food.
Amylase is an enzyme produced in the human body to break down starch. Salivary amylase is secreted in the mouth, and functions to break down starch in the mouth.
helps t bobreak down the catalase similar to the ones in starches
Convert starch to glucose.
Both the salivary glands in the head and the pancreas in the abdomen. The salivary glands produce salivary amylase that is released into te mouth where it acts on the carbohydrate. The pancreases produces pancreatic amylase which is released into the duodenum of the small intestine.
The Oral Cavity has limited digestion of carbohydrates and lipids (amylase and lipase).
The salivary amylase works mostly in the mouth and in the esophagus. Once it reaches the stomach, the high pH denatures the salivary amylase and cannot be used. However, once the food reaches the duodenum the pancreas releases pancreatic amylase to continually digest carbohydrates.
Saliva contains amylase, it begins the breakdown of starch into sugars
The digestive enzyme-amylase is secreted in two regions of the digestive tract.i.e.(1) salivary amylase by salivary glands in the buccal cavity.(2) pancreatic amylase by pancreas in the duodenum.
Amylase is the enzyme made in the salivary glands and the pancreas. Its function is to break down complex carbohydrates, sometimes called starches.. In the mouth they are called salivary amylase and in the small intestine they are called pancreatic amylase. This enzyme is also known as ptyalin.
It will denature salivary amylase
The salivary glands in cockroaches breaks up some of the fod in the cockroach's mouth using amylase. :)
The optimum pH of salivary amylase is 6.8 (slightly acidic).
salivary amylase
It depends on the amylase. Salivary amylase is produced in the salivary glands, while pancreatic amylase is produced in the pancreas, etc.
The small intestine and the salivary glands are the organs of the digestive system that produces the enzyme amylase.
Salivary Amylase is located in the mouth in the mouth and in the esophagus.
Because the enzyme salivary amylase lacks protein.
4) lack protein
Amylase is a enzyme.And composed of proteins
The main function of the salivary glands are to moisten the food in your mouth so you can swallow easier and it is all mushy.
