Where is starch digested? How is it digested?
Can you tell me where is starch digested in our body and how is it digested?
Starch is digested in our body primarily in the small intestine. The process of starch digestion starts in the mouth with the enzyme amylase breaking down starch into simpler sugars. This process is then continued in the small intestine with the help of pancreatic enzymes until the starch is fully broken down into glucose molecules and absorbed into the bloodstream.
