Answer
Starch into simple sugars
Reason — Saliva contains the enzyme salivary amylase which begins the digestion of starch in the mouth by breaking it into simpler sugars (like maltose). If less saliva is secreted, there will be reduced salivary amylase activity and therefore decreased conversion of starch into simple sugars.
