Answer :

The gland associated with the digestion of carbohydrates in the human alimentary canal is SALIVARY GLANDS.

These glands secrete saliva containing an enzyme called SALIVARY AMYLASE.


It converts STARCH INTO SUGAR at optimum pH of about 7 .


It is due to these salivary glands that our mouth waters when we eat or smell something we like
