Question

how carbohydrates digested in man

Answer 1

The two digestible carbohydrates are starches and sugars, and both of these carbohydrates are digested, or broken down into their most elementary form, along the gastrointestinal tract. Amylase, an enzyme which breaks apart starches, is found in the mouth and in the small intestine.

Answer 2

All carbohydrates absorbed in the small intestine must be hydrolyzed to monosaccharides to absorption . degestion of starch begins with the action of salivary alpha amylase/ptyalin although it's activity is slight in comparison with that of pancreatic amylase in the small intestine
