Most carbohydrate digestion occurs in the small intestine, thanks to a suite of enzymes. Pancreatic amylase is secreted from the pancreas into the small intestine, and like salivary amylase, it breaks starch down to small oligosaccharides (containing 3 to 10 glucose molecules) and maltose.
Digestion of dietary carbohydrate occurs at two sites in the small intestine. The first digestion occurs in the lumen and is termed luminal digestion and involves enzymes from the salivary glands, stomach and the pancreas.
