Answer:

The correct answer would be - no or very less.

Explanation:

Digestion of the carbohydrates including starch begins within the mouth with the help of amylase into maltose. Most of the starch digestion takes place in the small intestine.

The significant digestion of starch does not take place in the stomach due to the acidity of the stomach as at low pH, amylase denatured or stay inactivated. Once the starch fragments reach the small intestines pancreatic amylase digest starch.
