Digestion of carbohydrates starts right in the mouth. Your saliva contains what is called salivary amalase, an enzyme that hydrolyzes amylose, a starch, into disaccharides like maltose. But because food or bolus spends relatively little time in your mouth, the enzyme (pancreatic amylase) is also produced along with other gastic juices.
