Explanation:

Saliva contains special enzymes that help digest the starches in your food. An enzyme called amylase breaks down starches (complex carbohydrates) into sugars, which your body can more easily absorb. Saliva also contains an enzyme called lingual lipase, which breaks down fats.

Answer:

In the mouth, the salivary glands produce and release salivary amylase. This enzyme represents the first stage of chemical digestion. It breaks down starch and helps to moisten the food so it can be formed into a bolus that is then propelled through the swallowing process.
