Answer:
The digestive functions of saliva include moistening food and helping to create a food bolus so it can be swallowed easily . Saliva contains the enzyme amylase that breaks some starches down into maltose and dextrin . Thus digestion of food occurs within the mouth even before food reaches the stomach.
