Carbohydrate digestion starts with the action of salivary amylase (or ptyalin) in the mouth and it carries on in the duodenum by the action of pancreatic juice. This juice includes the enzyme pancreatic amylase, or amylopsin, which breaks starch (or amylum) into maltose (that is a disaccharide made up of two glucose molecules).
