Answer:

Starch + H2O = maltose

This reaction gives the Starch and H2O as the reactants and Maltose as the product.

Amylase is an enzyme which helps in the digestion of Starch molecules and its activity can however be measured through careful monitoring of the disappearance of amylase substrate which is in this case, starch.
