Answer:
Digestion of carbohydrates begin in the mouth because the enzyme known as salivary amylase is present in the mouth.
The enzyme is responsible for breaking down the carbohydrates into simple sugar like maltose, which is easier to get digested.
so basically there is no digestive juice. There is a carbohydrate digesting enzyme.
