Now, eventually, those polysaccharides will travel through the pharynx, through the esophagus, through the stomach, and will enter our small intestine. Now, in the small intestine, we have a special type of digestive enzyme that is more powerful than salivary amylase. And this digestive enzyme is known as pancreatic amylase that is produced by the pancreas. Now, pancreatic amylase breaks down the polysaccharide into disaccharides. And those disaccharides consist of only two monomers of sugar. Now, our cells cannot actually absorb disaccharides.
