Question

Give a reason why the digestion of starch started in the mouth with the help of salivary amylase is not continued in the stomach. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Salivary amylase initiates starch hydrolysis in the mouth, and this process accounts for not more than 30% of total starch hydrolysis. Because salivary amylase is inactivated by an acid pH, no significant hydrolysis of carbohydrates occurs in the stomach.
