The enzyme in saliva that aids in digestion is called amylase, specifically salivary amylase. It begins the process of breaking down carbohydrates into simpler sugars as food is chewed. This enzymatic action is crucial for the initial stages of digestion before the food reaches the stomach.
What else can I help you with?
Why calamansi helps with digestion and with blood circulation?
because it also help you to digest food and it is like an enzyme.
Can you digest food out saliva?
Digest is a strong word so I am going to say no. Saliva can helps breakdown food compound but it is in fact not strong enough to fully breakdown or "digest" food. In fact, teeth and chewing helps saliva in breaking food down. Also, saliva can only breakdown carbohydrates compound. Proteins, fats and fibres need stronger and different enzyme. PS: saliva is essentially an enzyme

Structures that produce enzymes that digest food in the mouth?
The primary structure responsible for producing enzymes that digest food in the mouth is the salivary glands. These glands secrete saliva, which contains the enzyme amylase, responsible for breaking down starches into simpler sugars. Additionally, the enzyme lipase, found in smaller amounts, helps in the digestion of fats. Together, these enzymes initiate the digestive process before food moves to the stomach.
What is the role of hydrochloric acid in the stomach?
Hydrochloric acid in the stomach helps to break down food particles and kill bacteria that may be present in the food. It also activates pepsin, an enzyme that helps digest proteins. Additionally, hydrochloric acid helps to maintain the acidic environment necessary for the digestion process to occur efficiently.
What is is The chief digestive enzyme in the stomach is .?
Its PEPSIN. Pepsin is an enzyme that breaks down proteins into smaller peptides (that is, a protease). It is produced in the stomach and is one of the main digestive enzymes in the digestive systems of humans and many other animals, where it helps digest the proteins in food.
