Depending on what the bacteria has on their cellular wall, you aren't going to destroy it with your enzyme. Most bacteria are probably killed by other bacteria living in the mouth ecosystem.
5% of the starches are broken down in the mouth before the food is swallowed.
Ptyalin is an enzyme that breaks down starch into sugar in the mouth. It is produced by the salivary glands and helps initiate the digestion of carbohydrates in the mouth before they reach the stomach.
the enzyme produced in the stomach wall is mainly protease, this breaksdown the proteins in the food you have eaten
salivary amylase
Alpha amylase is the enzyme that breaks down starch into it's individual glucose monosaccharide molecules.
I only know that your saliva breaks down carbs in your mouth as you chew.
amylase breaks down carbohydrate
lactase
It breaks down things such as food. (enzymes break things down)

Ptyalin is an enzyme that breaks down starch into sugar in the mouth. It is produced by the salivary glands and helps initiate the digestion of carbohydrates in the mouth before they reach the stomach.
The enzyme released into the mouth via salivary glands are called salivary amylase. This enzyme is what breaks down starch and starts the chemical digestion. When the bolus (chewed up food covered in saliva) enters the stomach, the pH is too low and thus the amylase denatures, and no more starch is broken down.
