Starch digestion begins in the mouth. As food does not remain long in the mouth, only a little starch is digested by salivary amylase to maltose. No digestion of carbohydrates occurs in the stomach; only proteins are digested in the stomach.In the small intestine, starch is digested by pancreatic amylase into maltose, which is digested by maltase into glucose. Lactose is digested by lactase into glucose and galactose.Sucrose is digested by sucrase into glucose and fructose.The end products of carbohydrate digestion are simple sugars (glucose, fructose, and galactose) which can be absorbed.actose is digested by lactase into glucose and galactose.
