Saliva contains Salivary Amylase that acts upon carbohydrates.
The saliva on flour would break all the carbohydrates in flour and makes it into simpler substance.
This signifies the action on our food when in our mouth and the process of mastication

CHVRSP: the food becomes like slurry mass after mixing with saliva

CHVRSP: bolus formed by mixing of food with saliva

yasummu: yes right perfect wording
