    The document summarizes the key organs and enzymes involved in the chemical digestion of food in the human digestive system. The mouth breaks down starch into sugars using the enzyme amylase in saliva. The stomach contains the enzyme pepsin and hydrochloric acid to break down proteins into smaller polypeptides and peptides. The pancreas produces enzymes including trypsin, lipase, and amylase that act in the small intestine to further break down proteins, fats, and starches into their basic nutrients which are then absorbed.
