What are the enzymes produced by the esophagus?
The esophagus does not produce enzymes. Its main function is to pass food from the mouth to the stomach using muscle contractions called peristalsis. The stomach is the first organ that produces enzymes to aid in digestion.
How does enzymes being denatured affect your mouth cell secretion of amylase when you consume very acidic foods?
When enzymes get denatured, their structure changes, which can inhibit their function. In the case of amylase in your mouth cells, denaturation by very acidic foods can reduce its ability to break down carbohydrates effectively. This can slow down the digestion of starches and affect the secretion of amylase in your mouth.
