Question

if we chew rice ,or bread, for a few minutes its starts tasting sweet ? give reasons for the following

Answer 1

If we chew break or rice for a few minutes, they start tasting sweet.

It is because the enzymes in your saliva are previously breaking down the starch content to glucose.

When it comes to rice and bread, they are made of pure glucose molecules.

The starchy foods bring more energy to your body.

Answer 2

Dear student,

● Answer with explaination -

• Rice & bread are primarily composed of starches.
• When we chew rice/bread, salivary glands secrete saliva in the mouth.
• This saliva contains digestive enzymes - salivary amylase, lingual lipase, carbonic anhydrase, peroxidases.
• Specifically salivary amylase converts starch into glucose which is a sugar.
• Therefore, rice/bread starts to taste sweet after chewing for few minutes.

Hope this helps you. Keep asking..
