Carbohydrates are digested (hydrolyzed) by the enzyme amylase, found in saliva. However, saliva does not contain any protein-hydrolyzing enzymes. Enzymes are specific, meaning they will only hydrolyze the substrates (reactants) they were made to hydrolyze, so amylase will not hydrolyze proteins.

PS: saliva is essentially an enzyme
