When you consume foods, digestion begins in the mouth where the chewed food encounters this enzyme called salivary amylase.
Saliva has unique enzymes that aid in the digestion of the carbs in your diet. Starches, which are complex carbs, are broken down by an enzyme called amylase into sugars, which your body can absorb more readily. Additionally, lingual lipase, an enzyme that breaks down fats, is present in saliva.
The digestion of carbohydrates begins in the mouth. The salivary enzyme amylase begins the breakdown of food starches into maltose, a diasaccharide.
