The wall of the small intestine produces phlegm, which protects against the sour food paste. The mucus contains enzymes which are responsible for the fine cleavage of the foodmolecule that has been digested by the digestive juice or by some sugars, such as sucrose (beet sugar), maltose (e.g. present in bread) or lactose (milk sugar).
