Mouth, small intestine, and stomach
Enzymatic digestion of starch mainly happens in the small intestine, although a little of it happens in the mouth.
i think it takes place in the stomach and small intestine
Mouth, small intestine, and stomach
glucose, eventually
The digestion of starch begins in the mouth during mastication. The ptyalin enzyme (an amylase) converts the starch to sugar .
enzymatic hydrolysis
The digestion of fat will begin in the small intestine, whereas the digestion of starch which begin in the mouth (the mouth contains the enzyme amylase, which helps break down starch)
Hydrolysis. This process uses water to break down molecules such as starch.
Stages in the hydrolysis of starch: starch -> soluble starch -> amylodextrin -> erythrodextrin -> achrodextrin -> maltose -> glucose
In the mouth.
glucose.
yes temperature affects starch digestion, amylase work harder and better at higher temperatures
I don't think of it as an organ, but chemical digestion of starch begins in the mouth, using saliva.
In chemical Digestion, starch and fat are digested by the enzymes in saliva
the intestine
