Why carbohydrates are not digested in the stomach ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

For the digestion of carbohydrates, enzyme ptyalin or amylase are required. The gastric juice produced by stomach do not contain the enzyme ptyalin or amylase. It contains only pepsin which digests proteins. Hence carbohydrates are not digested in the stomach.
