• Smoothing and shaping food into a bolus, bolus that can be swallowed easily.
• Chemically dissolve the food to taste flavor
• Moisturizes and lubricates the food so it can be swallowed.
• Saliva also menmberikan moisture to the lips and tongue so that spared from the drought.
• Break down carbohydrates, polysaccharides and starch into maltose, a disaccharide. (Because of the enzyme amylase in saliva).

• Help facilitate the process of talking with lip and tongue movements.
• Slow the flow of saliva in the mouth so that saliva to be hypotonic, slightly acidic, rich in K + but not Na + and Cl-. If the fast flow ion composition is not enough time to change in the duct, so saliva is isotonic with the concentration of Na + and Cl-is higher.
