Saliva is a digestive juice ecreted by salivary gland in our mouth. The digestive functions of salaiva 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.
