Saliva contains three digesting enzymes: Lingual lipase – It is a lipid-digesting (lipolytic) enzyme.
Detailed explanation-2: -Saliva is produced in and secreted from salivary glands. The basic secretory units of salivary glands are clusters of cells called an acini. These cells secrete a fluid that contains water, electrolytes, mucus and enzymes, all of which flow out of the acinus into collecting ducts.
