Amylase is found in saliva and breaks starch into maltose and dextrin. This form of amylase is also called "ptyalin" /ˈtaɪəlɪn/[4] It will break large‚ insoluble starch molecules into soluble starches (amylodextrin‚ erythrodextrin‚ and achrodextrin) producing successively smaller starches and ultimately maltose. Ptyalin acts on linear α(1‚4) glycosidic linkages‚ but compound hydrolysis requires an enzyme that acts on branched products. Salivary amylase is inactivated in the stomach by gastric acid

After a recent trip to Santuario de Chimayo‚ I was able to refer to and apply Eliade’s ideas about sacred space to my own research. I have come to the conclusion that Mircea Eliade’s Theological Approach on sacred sites is very logical and truthful. Sacred sites are indeed
