Amylase is an enzyme which catalyzes the hydrolysis of the polysaccharide starch to the disaccharide maltose. Salivary amylase is produced by the salivary glands and pancreatic amylase is produced by the pancreas. If amylase is added to a solution of starch, the starch will be digested to form maltose.
