Digestion of starch and other carbohydrates begins in the mouth with an enzyme called salivary amylase.
Rating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: Amylase catalysis the reaction of starch's break down. This enzymes breaks down alpha 1 to 4 bonds which are located between two D-Glucose .... so it is necessary for Starch digestion!In fact Starch is made up from Amylose and Amylopectin.mylase degrades starch to maltose and isomaltose (1,4 linked glucose dimer, and alpha 1,6 linked glucose dimer respectively).These disaccharides are then cleaved by maltase and isomaltase in the microvilli.
