Production of Digestive Juices The glands that act first are in the mouth--the salivary glands. Saliva produced by these glands contains an enzyme that begins to digest the starch from food into smaller molecules. The next set of digestive glands is in the stomach lining.They produce stomach acid and an enzyme that digests protein.n the mouth, stomach, and small intestine, the mucosa contains tiny glands that produce juices to help digest food. There are also two solid digestive organs, the liver and the pancreas, which produce juices that reach the intestine through small tubes.
Digestive enzymes are diverse and are found in the saliva secreted by the salivary glands, in the stomach secreted by cells lining the stomach, in the pancreatic juice secreted by pancreatic exocrine cells, and in the intestinal (small and large) secretions, or as part of the lining of the gastrointestinal tract. It is produced by the stomach cells called chief cells in its inactive form pepsinogen, which is a zymogen. 2  Pepsinogen is then activated by the stomach acid into its active form, pepsin. 3  Pepsin breaks down the protein in the food into smaller particles, such as peptide fragments and amino acids.
