Actually, saliva contains two enzyme 1.salivary amylase 2.ptyalin or lysozyme Salivary amylase plays an important role in digestion of starch.it changes boiled starch into dissachrides(maltose).while, lysozyme (also called ptyalin)acts as anti bacterial agent.so, if saliva will not be released these actions will not take place.

Salivary amylase would not be able to digest starch or sugars. If saliva is not secred the starch prsent in our food will not be digested in the mouth as there would be no enzyme (salivary amylase/tyalin) to act on it
