Amylase is a enzyme that breaks down starch. It does not break it down into its monomer, glucose. Amylase hydrolyses starch into disaccharides and trisaccharides. One of those disaccharides is maltose. These disaccharides and trisaccharides are then hydrolysed by other enzymes, e.g. maltase hydrolyses maltose.
This enzyme acts on the remaining polysaccharides and breaks them into disaccharide units of maltose. In the final step of complex carbohydrate digestion, the enzyme maltase present in the lining of the small intestine breaks maltose into two units of glucose.Glucose is then absorbed and enters the bloodstream.his enzyme acts on the remaining polysaccharides and breaks them into disaccharide units of maltose.
