The saliva contains mucin to lubricate food, antibacterial agents, salivary amylase that hydrolyse starch and buffers that neutralise the acid produced by bacteria in the mouth cavity. The buffers in the saliva are alkaline in nature to neutralise the acids, hence creating a neutral environment for the enzymes to work on. The salivary amylase work best in neutral to slighty alkaline condition, it will denature when the pH gets too low.
