Answer 2

Starch contains carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are digested by the enzyme AMYLASE which is secreted from the mouth of the body. About 40% of the amylase in your body is made by your pancreas. The rest is secreted from your salivary glands of the body. The pancreas is an organ which is located behind the stomach. It creates various enzymes that help break down food in the intestines.
