The salivary glad produces amylase. It is an enzyme that primarily functions to digest starches. Amylase is also produces in the pancreas.
Amylose; or sucrose by the enzyme Amylase.
Amylase in human saliva breaks starches into sugars. Chew a cracker and taste for yourself.

The parotid gland is one of the salivary glands in humans. In fact, it is the largest salivary gland. It releases saliva into the mouth to begin the processes of digestion and swallowing.
Salivary gland are three paired glands in our cheeks and mouth that produce saliva as well as salivary amylase which begins the chemical digestion of starches in our mouths. Our salivary glands are the paired parotid, sublingual, and submandibular glands.
Some salivary glands produce both mucous and serous secretions, and these are called "mixed" glands. -Pasqualino P.
There are 3 salivary glands; the parotid gland, the sublingual gland, and the submandibular gland. The submandibular gland used to be the "submaxillary gland."

Limited digestion begins when salivary gland secretions enter the mouth. The enzymes in the saliva, such as amylase, start breaking down carbohydrates in the food. This initial digestion helps to start the process of breaking down the food particles into smaller, more easily digestible components.

It's the sublingual salivary gland.

It releases a juice called saliva which lubricates the food and aids in partial digestion of starch.
Salivary glands, they include: sublingual, submadibular, and parotid.
