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.
1 glucose generated by digestion of starch or lactose is absorbed in the small intestine only by cotransport with sodium, a fact that has exceptionally important implications in medicine.ietary lactose and sucrose, and maltose derived from digestion of starch, diffuse in the small intestinal lumen and come in contact with the surface of absorptive epithelial cells covering the villi where they engage with brush border hydrolases: 1  maltase cleaves maltose into two molecules of glucose.
