What percentage of digestion occurs in mouth?

Digestion in the mouth accounts for about 5-10% of the total digestive process. The primary function in the mouth is mechanical breakdown through chewing, along with the enzymatic action of saliva, particularly the enzyme amylase, which begins the digestion of carbohydrates.
