Detailed explanation-1: -As such, enzymes such as alpha-amylase secreted by salivary glands in the oral cavity and also by the pancreas cannot function in the stomach, and thus digestion of carbohydrates does not occur in the stomach.
Detailed explanation-2: -All sugars and other carbs need to be broken down into easily-used monosaccharides. After you swallow, sugar and other foods travel down the esophagus via peristalsis into the stomach and then the small intestines. Here, sugars are all broken down by additional enzymes into single units and absorbed for further use.
