Answer: 5years

Explanation: Breaking down of starch into simple sugar without the deployment of amylase to act on it will take a long period of time (as long as 5years).

Enzyme Amylase saves us a lot of time in converting starch into simple sugars. Instead of taking up to years, Amylase only requires about 10minutes to get the job done. It does this by hydrolyzing starch into maltose, glucose, shorter polysaccharides, and dextrins.
