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.
The esophagus and large intestine lack digestive enzymes such as amylase, proteases, and lipases. The absence of these enzymes suggests that the primary functions of these organs are not involved in digestion but rather in the transport and absorption of food (esophagus) and the absorption of water and electrolytes, as well as the formation and excretion of feces (large intestine). Consequently, these organs are specialized for different roles in the digestive process rather than enzymatic breakdown of nutrients.
Carbohydrase enzymes are produced in the salivary glands and in the pancreas. These enzymes help break down carbohydrates into simpler sugars for absorption in the small intestine.

Proteolytic enzymes will destroy the cells that produced them if they are produced in an active form. To protect the body's own cells these enzymes are secreted in an inactive form into the digestive tract and activated where they are needed.

The esophagus is merely a tube that transports foods and liquids to the stomach. While enzymes in saliva break down food, the esophagus plays no role in separating or breaking down food molecules.
No, it does not.No.
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.
