starch + H2O Homo sapiens salivary alpha-amylase digests a portion of ingested starch in the stomach before it enters the intestine and is exposed to pancreatic amylase. A role of salivary alpha-amylase is bacterial clearance from the mouth and prevention of bacterial attachment to oral surfaces ?

saliva salivary alpha-amylase is produced locally in the oral cavity by the salivary glands. Salivary alpha-amylase activity shows a sharp rise in the 0.9 year to 1.9 year period, reaching maximum levels by 5-6 years of age. alpha-Amylase is associated with sympathetic/parasympathetic nervous system activation. Association between salivary alpha-amylase levels and social behavior and relationships, health, negative affectivity, cognitive/academic problems, and cardiovascular activity Homo sapiens
