The esophagus does not produce any enzymes. Even so, sometimes digestive enzymes produced in the stomach can make their way into the esophagus due to a hernia or a condition called gastroesophagic reflux.

No it shouldn't. The salivary glands and pancreas and liver produce saliva, acid, and bile respectively. The reason you get "heartburn" is because acid from the stomach is being pushed into the esophagus so no, it does not produce digestive enzymes.
bile
You are wrong! The digestive system produce enzymes and other substances!!!
the pancreas/liver produce and store most digestive enzymes.
The hormone insulin and digestive enzymes
The parasympathetic division of the autonomous nervous system sends a message to the digestive system when it's time to produce enzymes.
it produces digestive enzymes.
The acinar cells of the pancreas produce digestive enzymes that are released into the small intestine to help break down proteins, fats, and carbohydrates in the food we eat, aiding in their digestion and absorption.
The four organs that produce digestive fluids are the salivary glands (producing saliva), the stomach (producing gastric juices), the pancreas (producing pancreatic enzymes), and the liver (producing bile). These fluids aid in the digestion and absorption of nutrients in the digestive system.
