Starch hydrolysis starts with salivary amylase, continues with pancreatic amylase, and concludes with enzymes on the intestinal lining forming glucose, which is used for energy or stored as glycogen.
Starch hydrolysis begins with salivary amylase in the mouth and continues with pancreatic amylase in the intestines; both amylose and amylopectin are broken down into maltose subunits and branched dextrins, respectively. These are then further hydrolyzed by enzymes on the small intestine's epithelial lining into glucose, which is used for ATP production or stored as glycogen.
