Detailed explanation-1: -Animals feeding on unripe fruits, seed, roots, and bulbs, all rich in starch, exhibit higher salivary amylase activity. This supports the notion that a key role of salivary amylase is starch digestion.
Detailed explanation-2: -Salivary enzymes break down carbohydrates in the mouth itself and thus help in the process of digestion.
Detailed explanation-3: -The digestion of starch begins with salivary amylase, but this activity is much less important than that of pancreatic amylase in the small intestine. Amylase hydrolyzes starch, with the primary end products being maltose, maltotriose, and a-dextrins, although some glucose is also produced.
Detailed explanation-4: -The digestive process starts in your mouth when you chew. Your salivary glands make saliva, a digestive juice, which moistens food so it moves more easily through your esophagus into your stomach. Saliva also has an enzyme that begins to break down starches in your food.
