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.
Subsequent breakdown of dextrins gives disaccharides, mainly maltoses, and then monosaccharides. The partial breakdown of starch with the formation of dextrins can also occur on rapid heating (so-called dextrinization of starch, making it soluble in water).
