Why a piece of bread or chapati taste sweet when we chew it for sometimes?
When chapati is chewed for some time it taste sweeter because, as you know chapati is carbohydrates and it presents starch. When salivary gland secrets saliva, then it breaks carbohydrates into simple glucose that is heroes. It is generally food in our body by hydrolysis of starch.

It is because the enzyme, salivary amylase in saliva changes starch of chapati into maltose which is sweet in taste.
