If a person's salivary glands were unable to produce saliva, the process of hydrolysis would be significantly impaired. Saliva contains water, enzymes, and electrolytes that initiate the breakdown of carbohydrates and fats in food. Without adequate saliva, food would not be moistened or properly mixed with these enzymes, leading to reduced efficiency in digestion and nutrient absorption. Overall, this could result in digestive issues and inadequate nutrient intake.
