No, saliva doesn't contain reducing sugars, but it does contain enzymes that break down starch. Even so, starch is not a reducing sugar either - it is a polysaccharide.
As you suck on a lollipop, molecules begin to dissolve in your saliva. In addition, in your saliva, there is an enzyme called amylase that begins to break down the sugars of the lollipop.
They are made of pure sugar, and sugar dissolves in water.

What happens when you put it into your coffee? Does it dissolve or not?
Dissolve... mixing with the tea.
Saliva in your mouth makes the jolly rancher dissolve.
Lollipops dissolve in the mouth due to the presence of sugar, which is water soluble. When the lollipop comes in contact with saliva, the sugar molecules start to break down and disperse, leading to dissolution.
In essence, it's sugar, or fake sugar, or whatever. Sugar dissolves when subjected to liquid (in this case your saliva) therefore dissolving the gum. :)
when theres a lot of sugar in something like a candy cane, putting water or saliva causes the sugars to dissolve in a candy cane

No, sugar will not dissolve in air. Substances dissolve in liquids, such as water, not in gases like air.
Sprite, water, Kool-Aid, milk, and saliva dissolves mints.
Salt (sodium chloride) and sugar (sucrose) are two common materials that dissolve in water. Salt dissolves easily in water due to its ionic nature, while sugar dissolves in water because its molecules are polar and interact with the water molecules.
Sugar should dissolve faster in a liquid.

Vinegar would dissolve hard caramel faster than soda or saliva. The acidity in vinegar helps break down the sugar molecules more effectively, speeding up the dissolution process. Saliva will also eventually dissolve caramel, but at a slower rate compared to vinegar.
204g of sugar is the maximum amount of sugar that will dissolve into 100mL of water.
