Answer:
Digestion of carbohydrate usually mostly takes place in our mouth. Our saliva contains enzymes that help in the digestion of carbohydrate into simpler forms(sugar or glucose).You can test this by chewing bread for a long time in your mouth. You feel the bread sweet in your mouth.Hence the saliva breaks down starch(carbohydrate) into simpler sugar.Thats why we are often told to chew rice thoroly befor swallowing it.
