the answer is pepsin.
Protease
Rennin
Digestion of food begins in your mouth. You have amylase enzyme, also called as ptylin present in your saliva to digest the starch.

Carbohydrate digestion starts with the mastication (chewing of the mouth). There, the salivary amylase begins to break down the carbs into monosaccharides. Protein digestion begins in the stomach. Pepsin comes into play here and various enzyme proteases do as well
Digestion ends in the large intestine.
salivary amalaze
amylase
When pepsinogen is mixed with hydrochloric acid, it makes pepsin. Pepsin is the enzyme that begins the digestion of proteins in stomach.
amylase
The milk digestion enzyme, lactase, breaks down lactose into simpler sugars, glucose and galactose, in the body. This allows the body to absorb and utilize these sugars for energy.
I don't think of it as an organ, but chemical digestion of starch begins in the mouth, using saliva.
