18. Salivary amylase digests
A. monosaccharides
B. glucose
C. protein
D. starches
E. maltose

Option D) starch

Explanation:

On eating a food rich in carbohydrates, an enzyme called amylase secreted by the salivary gland help to break down the starch contained in the food into maltose.

This maltose then travels down to the small intestine where the enzyme, maltase converts it into glucose.

Thus, salivary amylase digest starch in foods

answer: glucoamylase presented optimum activity at temperature of 55â°c, and, in the glycosidic bonds from the non-reducing ends of starch, resulting in the production of glucose. source and type of fermentation can affect the enzyme's properties
