Answer:
Among them is salivary amylase that helps in the breakdown of starch into simple sugars, lingual lipase that acts on fats breaking them into fatty acids and glycerol and kallikrein that produces bradykinin which is a potent vasodilator. Hence the correct answer is option (B) Starch breaking down into sugars.

Answer:
Option B: Starch breaking down into sugars
Explanation:
Salivary amylase is an enzyme that is produced by the salivary glands. Salivary amylases digest starch into smaller molecules, ultimately yielding maltose.
If Salivary amylase is lacking in saliva, efficient starch won't be broken and sulphurous starch won't be absorbed by the body.
