Answer:
The digestive functions of saliva include moistening food and helping to create a food bolus. ... Saliva contains the enzyme amylase, also called ptyalin, which is capable of breaking down starch into simpler sugars such as maltose and dextrin that can be further broken down in the small intestine.

Answer:
You begin to digest carbohydrates the minute the food hits your mouth. The saliva secreted from your salivary glands moistens food as it's chewed. Saliva releases an enzyme called amylase, which begins the breakdown process of the sugars in the carbohydrates you're eating.
