SALIVARY ALPHA AMYLASE
Manufacturer Lee Biosolution produces HUMAN SALIVARY enzyme for medical research and bulk quantities for clinical diagnostic manufacturers Lee Biosolutions is able to process over 500 liters of human saliva enzyme a year.
Amylase is an enzyme that breaks starch down into sugar. Amylase is present in human saliva, where it begins the chemical process of digestion. Foods that contain much starch but little sugar, such as rice and potato, taste slightly sweet as they are chewed because amylase turns some of their starch into sugar in the mouth.á-Amylase is an enzyme that hydrolyses alpha-bonds of large alpha-linked polysaccharides such as starch and glycogen, yielding glucose and maltose.
alpha-amylase is being used by researchers as a barometer of the body's response to physical or psychological stress. NIH study shows that Women with high levels of alpha amylase indicating stress are less likely to conceive

Human alpha Amylase Research:
Human a-Amylase enzyme is a digestive enzyme classified as a saccharidase (an enzyme that cleaves polysaccharides). The human alpha amylase(s) enzyme are calcium metalloenzymes, completely unable to function in the absence of calcium. By acting at random locations along the starch chain, human alpha amylase enzyme breaks down long-chain carbohydrates, ultimately yielding maltotriose and maltose from amylose, or maltose, glucose and "limit dextrin" from amylopectin. Because human salivary amylase can act anywhere on the substrate, human alpha amylase enzyme tends to be faster acting than beta amylase enzyme
