Saliva is a mixture of water and electrolytes (Na+, K+, Cl-, HCO3-), derived from blood plasma, mucus and serous fluids (water constituency of saliva), and (as most people say, and you know) salivary amylase or ptyalin (enzyme) and lysozyme (antibacterial agent, which keeps the mouth clean). Ions of thyocyanate are also present in Saliva.
Fun fact: About 1000-1500 ml of Saliva is secreted per day and Saliva is also slightly acid in nature as well (pH is about 6.8).
