How does the pancreatic juice resume the digestion of carbohydrates? What is the involved enzyme?
Carbohydrate digestion starts with the action of the salivary amylase (ptyalin) in the mouth and it continues in the duodenum by the action of the pancreatic juice. This juice having the enzyme pancreatic amylase, or amylopsin that breaks starch (amylum) into maltose (a disaccharide made of two glucose molecules).
