Extraction of a-amylase from human saliva

Hello, this is somewhat of a "gross" project but I'd think this would be kind of fun to do. I've been reading up on procedures of how to do it(via scientific papers and such) and I want to somewhat refine it for the amateur; so I came here for help. The paper I read will be linked below. By the way, I do want crystalline amylase, if that is possible (biochem ain't my strongest field).

P.S. You will have to put the paper through scihub to read them but whatever. Also this is no where near the only article on this procedures so feel free to look for other papers. In fact I'd prefer if you do.
