Which component of food is broken by sliva in mouth
  • 1 answers

Meghna Thapar 5 years, 7 months ago

Digestion of food in human beings begins in the mouth. The mouth cavity contains teeth, tongue and salivary glands. The teeth cut the food into small pieces, chew and grind it. This is called physical digestion. Salivary glands produce saliva which mixes with the food. This involves chemical digestion of food. The saliva contains an enzyme called salivary amylase which digests the starch and converts it into maltose sugar.
