After mastication of starchy food, which of the following is formed?
- A Glucose
- B Lactose
- C Maltose
- D Sucrose
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Maltose
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
After mastication of starchy food, the enzyme amylase present in saliva initiates the breakdown of starch into smaller carbohydrate units. The main product of this initial digestion is maltose, which is a disaccharide composed of two glucose molecules linked together.
