Answer 2

Explanation:

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. About 30% of starch digestion takes place in the mouth cavity

The process of digestion starts the moment food enters your mouth. The mouth and esophagus themselves don't make any enzymes, but saliva, produced in the salivary glands and excreted into the mouth, and down into the esophagus, contains several important enzymes such as amylase, lysozyme and lingual lipase.
