Amalyse
The substance that contains a starch-splitting enzyme is the pancreatic juice and saliva. The two types of enzymes that break down starch are pancreatic amylase and salivary amylase.
saliva and pancreatic juice
Saliva contains an enzyme called amylase. The amylase breaks down the polysaccharide starch into a disaccharide called glucose.

starch
It does not digest starch faster. The saliva produced before the meal will have a longer time to prepare.
Starch doesn't digest saliva. The enzyme in saliva digests starch.
Saliva.
Digest is a strong word so I am going to say no. Saliva can helps breakdown food compound but it is in fact not strong enough to fully breakdown or "digest" food. In fact, teeth and chewing helps saliva in breaking food down. Also, saliva can only breakdown carbohydrates compound. Proteins, fats and fibres need stronger and different enzyme. PS: saliva is essentially an enzyme
saliva is the substance in the mouth that contains enzymes to help with digestion before the food is swallowed.
