Examples
Amylopsin, the starch-digesting enzym, appears to be very similar to ptyalin in its power to digest carbohydrates.
One part of amylopsin can change forty thousand times its bulk of starch to glucose.
The amylopsin likewise in the pancreatic secretion acts upon the starch and dextrin, changing them to maltose.
Amylopsin is much more powerful and rapid than the ptyalin of the saliva, especially on uncooked starch.
