Answer: highest activity of salivary amylase is at pH 6.8.

Explanation:Amylase enzyme catalyses the hydrolysis of starch into sugars. Amylase is present in the saliva of humans and some other mammals. The enzymatic activity of salivary amylase ranges from 6 to 7. Above and below this range, the reaction rate reduces as enzymes get denaturated. But the optimum enzymatic activity is at pH 6.8.
