Salivary Amylase is the name of enzyme.
The process of digestion starts the moment food enters your mouth. The mouth and esophagus themselves don’t make any enzymes, but saliva, produced in the salivary glands and excreted into the mouth, and down into the esophagus, contains several important enzymes such as amylase, lysozyme and lingual lipase. Saliva is mixed with food as you chew, and acts as a lubricant to start the digestion process. The enzymes in saliva start to break down nutrients, while some also help protect you from bacteria and support the body's immune system.
