Top 10 facts about the world. The primary function of an amylase enzyme is to break down starches, which results in simple sugars such as fructose, maltose, glucose and dextrine. This function of amylase occurs in the human body, but is also put to use in food and beverage processing and other industries.
Amylase is an enzyme that breaks down starch, converting it into sugar. There are two major types: alpha and beta. Alpha-amylase is found in human saliva, where it begins a chemical process in digestion with the hydrolysis of starch. It is also found in the pancreas. Beta-amylase is found in the seeds of some plants, as well as bacteria, yeast, and molds. Amylase is also found in other animals that use it to aid the digestive process. This enzyme begins its work in the mouth when food is chewed, breaking up the polysaccharide bonds that link together to make chains of starch molecules.
