The correct sequence of digestion of starch is:

  • salivary amylase is produced by the salivary glands
  • starch digestion begins in the mouth
  • starch is converted into maltose
  • maltose is digested into glucose in the small intestine
  • glucose is absorbed in the small intestine
  • starch is converted into glycogen

Starch is a polysaccharide made of several glucose monomer units.

In the mouth, amylase is produced and is part of the saliva. Hence, digestion of starch begins in the mouth as it is broken down by amylase.

Starch is hydrolysed to maltose by the enzyme diastase. The maltose is further broken down to glucose by the action of maltase in the small intestine.

Hence, glucose is absorbed in the small intestine and glucose is converted into glycogen.
