Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Inside your small intestine is where the bulk of carbohydrate digestion occurs.
Detailed explanation-2: -The majority of carbohydrate digestion occurs in the small intestine. The main enzyme is pancreatic amylase, which yields disaccharides from starch by digesting the alpha 1-4 glycosidic bonds.
