Salivary glands.
what is the purpose of the digestive glands?
Salivary glands produce a clear liquid which moistens food as it is being chewed. Without moisture the food is like chewing sand. The glands also produce an enzyme. Most people, but not all, produce an enzyme called salivary amylase which begins to break down starches/complex carbohydrates before they enter the stomach. A test to see if you have this enzyme is to hold a piece of bread or rice cake..in your mouth and see if you sense a sweeter taste. If you have salivary amylase, the starch will become sugar in your mouth.
