Saliva provides moisture moisture which helps form the chewed food into a bolus, & lubricates it as it is swallowed; it also contains salivary amylase, an enzyme which starts the process of digesting carbohydrates, and a small amount of an antibacterial enzyme.
Amazingly, we produce over 1 litre of saliva each day!
