Correct Answer:
Solution : The correct answer is starch
When you start chewing, saliva glands in your mouth and throat begin to secrete. The sight or scent of food might initiate this process. The drink promotes digestion, moisturises the mouth, prevents infections in the mouth and throat, and protects the teeth and gums. Saliva includes enzymes that aid in the digestion of carbohydrates. Amylase is an enzyme that converts starches (complex carbs) into sugars that your body can readily absorb.
