The enzyme amylase (for breaking down starch) is produced by the salivary glands along with water and mucus
The salivary glands produce lipase which breaks down lipids (fats) and amylase which breaks down the sugar amylose. They also produce a weak antibiotic.
The salivary glands produce two enzymes: amylase which begins the digestion of sugars and lipase which begins the breakdown of lipid (fats). They also produce lysozyme a weak antibacterial.
The major enzyme produced by the salivary glands is amylase.
The salivary glands secrete several enzymes. Prominent among them is amylase, also called ptyalin, which can break down into simpler sugars.

Amylase (ptyalin)
saliva
The enzyme in human saliva is Amylase.
Salivary glands produce the enzyme ptylin. This enzyme breaks down the carbohydrates to smaller parts. There action last for some time in stomach also.
The enzyme amylase is a biological catalyst found in saliva. It catalyzes the breakdown of starch. Note that not everyone secretes the enzyme amylase in their saliva.
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!
lysozyme
Saliva A+
The enzyme in human saliva is Amylase.
Its enzyme and not endzine, so salivary amylase is the enzyme present in saliva.
Salivary glands produce the enzyme ptylin. This enzyme breaks down the carbohydrates to smaller parts. There action last for some time in stomach also.

Yes, rabbits produce saliva.
