Answer:

The bread tastes sweet after chewing it for a long time because of the digestion of polysaccharides into disaccharide maltose with the help of salivary amylase which is secreted along with the saliva. Only the digestion of sugars i.e. polysaccharides takes place in the mouth as only amylase enzyme is present in saliva.
