Yes, temperature can affect starch digestion. At higher temperatures, enzymatic activity involved in starch digestion increases, leading to faster breakdown of starch molecules into simpler sugars. However, excessively high temperatures can denature enzymes, affecting their ability to break down starch effectively.

The enzyme amylase breaks down starch in the process of digestion.
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)
I don't think of it as an organ, but chemical digestion of starch begins in the mouth, using saliva.
glucose.
In the mouth.
The digestion of starch begins in the mouth during mastication. The ptyalin enzyme (an amylase) converts the starch to sugar .
In chemical Digestion, starch and fat are digested by the enzymes in saliva
The time taken for starch to be digested by amylase will decrease as the temperature increases up to an optimal range. This is because higher temperatures speed up enzyme activity. However, if the temperature exceeds the optimal range, the enzyme may denature, leading to a decrease in digestion time.
