Salivary amylase (ptyalin) Amylase is found in saliva and breaks starch into maltose and dextrin. This form of amylase is also called ptyalin /ËtaÉªÉlÉªn/ It will break large, insoluble starch molecules into soluble starches (amylodextrin, erythrodextrin, and achrodextrin) producing successively smaller starches and ultimately maltose.
