Maltase is an enzyme that is found naturally in humans and also in yeasts, bacteria and plants.
Maltase’s purpose is to break down disaccharide maltose into monosaccharides (malt sugars).
The important role of maltase as an enzyme in our digestive system is found when starch is being assimilated in maltose by salivary or pancreatic enzymes like amylase
