Which enzyme present in saliva breaks down starch?

Answered by admin @



Saliva contains the digestive enzyme salivary amylase.
Salivary amylase helps in the predigestion of starch, hydrolysing it into
maltose and dextrin. Other enzymes will further act on the products in order to
convert them into glucose, which is used in cellular respiration. Salivary
amylase is the first enzyme which acts in digestion.
