The body uses enzymes called amylase to break down starches. This enzyme is structured to break down the starch and no other enzyme can perform this function.
Though starch and cellulose are chemically made from the same elements, and in the same concentrations, the human body is able to break down starches into simple enough sugars to absorb, while the human body cannot break down cellulose.
The enzyme that breaks down starches in the human body is called amylase.
Pancreatic enzymes, like amylase, help break down starches into smaller molecules like maltose. This process occurs in the small intestine, where the enzymes further break down the starches into simpler sugars that can be absorbed by the body.
The protein break down the best at 37 degrees in the human body.
Starches change to glucose through the process of digestion in the body. Glucose can then be used by the body as a source of energy for various functions.
Amylase is an enzyme in the human body that assists with the changing of starch into sugars. It is present in human saliva.
its sugars
Amylase is the enzyme present in saliva of human beings. It helps break down starches into simpler sugars to aid in digestion.
I think you are referring to Amylase, an enzyme in saliva that begins to break down starches into their constituent sugars within seconds of you chewing them up in your mouth.
Pepsin helps the body break down protein in the human body.
