Describe the digestion of carbohydrates ?

$\sf{\purple{\huge{Answer:}}}$

The digestion of carbohydrates begins in the mouth where the starch present in the food is acted upon by the salivary amylase which converts it into maltose. About 30% of starch is hydrolyzed in the mouth. No significant digestion of carbohydrates occurs in stomach. Pancreatic amylase found in pancreatic juice acts on the carbohydrates and converts it into disaccharides. The enzymes of succus entericus acts on the end products of the above reaction. Maltose is converted into glucose + glucose by action of maltase. Lactose into glucose and galactose by action of lactase and Sucrose into glucose and fructose by sucrase present in succus entericus. The products thus formed are simple and are absorbed in the jejunum and ileum regions of intestine.
