Chapati is a starch- which is carbohydrate.
The digestion of chapati begins in the mouth where salivary amylase acts on the chapati to digest the starch into alpha-dextrin. The alpha-dextrin is then digested to maltose and maltotriose by alpha-dextrinase (a pancreatic enzyme). The digestion of the chapati continues in the stomach and the small intestine, where the enzymes such as maltase, isomaltase, sucrase and lactase digest the dissacharides into its constituent monosaccharide. The monosaccharides from the chapati are then absorbed from the illeum into the blood stream.
