Maltase is the enzyme that specifically breaks down maltose into its constituent glucose molecules. Amylase is a broader enzyme that can break down a variety of carbohydrates, but may not be as efficient at breaking down maltose as maltase. Lipase breaks down lipids or fats, and pepsin breaks down proteins, neither of which are involved in maltose digestion.
