Your small intestine also breaks down food using enzymes made in your pancreas and bile from your liver. The small intestine is the "work horse"' of digestion -- while food is there, nutrients are absorbed through the walls and into your bloodstream
The digestive functions of saliva include moistening food, and helping to create a food bolus, so it can be swallowed easily. Saliva contains the enzyme amylase that breaks some starches down into maltose and dextrin. Thus, digestion of food occurs within the mouth, even before food reaches the stomach.
