The enzyme that initiates the digestion of starch in the mouth is called salivary amylase.

Explanation:

  • Salivary amylase, also known as ptyalin, is an enzyme produced by the salivary glands. It begins the process of breaking down starches into simpler sugars while still in the mouth.
  • This enzyme is crucial for the initial stage of carbohydrate digestion, allowing for easier processing as the food moves through the digestive system.
