Question

Saliva changes starch into sugar it true or false
​

Answer 1

TRUE

When foods containing starches are chewed in the mouth, they are mixed with saliva. Saliva contains an enzyme, (amylase) which helps chemically to change starch into small sugar molecules. Starch turns purple when added to iodine but sugar does not. The research aspect of this science fair project is to add saliva to starch to determine if indeed starch is composed of sugar.
