The starches, or carbohydrates, that you eat do not get digested in the stomach, it only digests proteins. Your pancreas secretes digestive juices that digest all three forms of food; proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. The specific enzyme that aids in the digestion on starches is pancreatic lipase which it delivers to the first part of the small intestine called the duodenum.
