Question

On which type of food does salivary amylase act at buccal cavity and write the name of initial product

due to the action of amylase?​

Answer 1

✳$\Large{ \rm{ \underline{ \underline{ \purple{Carbohydrates}}}}}$

The Salivary amylase is a enzyme released by the salivary glands found in the buccal cavity. There are three pairs of Salivary amylase. They release Saliva which contains water, salivary amylase, mucous and lysozyme. The Salivary amylase convert the complex carbohydrates into simpler form(maltose). Further in intestine, it is converted into glucose. Hence, Partial digestion of carbohydrates occurs in the mouth.

✏$\large{\rm{\underline{\underline{\red{Initial\: product}}}}}$ - Maltose

The Salivary amylase acts upon the starch to form Maltose which is a simpler sugar. The mucous lubricated the food and form a bolus.

✳$\large{\boxed{ \green{ \rm{Starch \: \: \normalsize{ \red{\underrightarrow{Salivary \: amylase} \: \: \large{ \green{ \: Maltose}}}}}}}}$

There are three pairs of Salivary glands found in our buccal cavity. These Salivary glands especially helps in the chemical digestion by secreting enzymes. Thus they are exocrine glands (glands that secrete enzymes) and release their secretions through ducts. There are three pairs of salivary glands that are Parotid, Submandibular/Submaxillary and Sublingual glands.
