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.
