As soon as we take food in our mouth the process of digestion begins.

Our teeth cut and reduce the food items into small particles and the salivary glands start secretion of saliva that mixes with these food particles.

The saliva contains an enzyme known as salivary amylase which hydrolyzes starch into maltose.

The complete digestion of starch in the small intestine by the action of pancreatic juice.

All living beings require energy for its survival.

The food we consume that supplies energy.
