Salivary Amylase.
The Oral Cavity has limited digestion of carbohydrates and lipids (amylase and lipase).

salivary amylase
Carbohydrate digestion starts with the mastication (chewing of the mouth). There, the salivary amylase begins to break down the carbs into monosaccharides. Protein digestion begins in the stomach. Pepsin comes into play here and various enzyme proteases do as well
Salivary amylase, which starts the breakdown of carbohydrates Saliva, in your mouth helps with the grinding and digestion of carbohydrate food.
Yes. It is called saliva and contains watery juice and mucus plus enzymes that begin carbohydrate digestion and a weak antibiotic.
salivary glands donot digest salivary amylase converts starch to glucose
Digestion begins in your mouth. Starch is digested (by salivary amylase) into maltose.
Chemical digestion
starches
Chemical digestion begins in the mouth with the secretion of saliva from three pairs of salivary glands. Saliva contains the digestive enzyme salivary amylase.
