Adithya Dev A 4 years, 3 months ago

It is true to say that digestion starts right in the mouth. When food reaches our mouth, it comes in contact with saliva, the secretion of salivary gland, which consists of salivary amylase. This enzyme helps in breaking down nearly 30% of starch present in the food into maltose thus facilitating carbohydrate digestion.
