Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lingual lipase is the fat-digesting enzyme secreted from the mouth by the lingual glands. It is an acidic lipase that works in the stomach after being activated by the acidic environment. Hydrophobic lipase, proteases lipase, and ductal lipase are not enzymes secreted from the mouth. Gastric lipase is secreted from the stomach, not the mouth.
