what are the substrates catalysed into??

Rennin removes the sugar that links fatty acids making them less permeable in water. This is the first step in bile/fat absorption process.
Amylase breaks down complex carbohydrates to simpler sugars. Different Amylases catalyze the break down of different carbohydrates.

Rennin coagulates proteins in the milk,forming solid curds(from which cheese is made) and liquid whey
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rennet
Salivary amylase (ptyalin) breaks starch(break large, insoluble starch molecules into soluble starches amylodextrin,erythrodextrin,achrodextrin) producing successively smaller starches and ultimately maltose.Salivary amylase is inactivated in the stomach by gastric acid.
Pancreatic amylase randomly cleaves the α(1-4)glycosidic linkages of amylose to yield dextrin, maltose or glucose molecules

amylase catalyses starch/carbohydrates, of which the saliva contains (salivary amylase)
