Answer:
Starch

Explanation:
Digestion begins in the mouth. The teeth break down food from chewing through mechanical digestion.

Chemical digestion also begins in the mouth. Saliva moistens food, but it contains an important enzyme called amylase. This enzyme breaks down starch into simple sugars.

So, the first compounds that are digested are starch.
