A member asked:

I was wondering does the enzyme produced by the pancreas mix with the starch in the stomach?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Hi. Pancreatic digestive enzymes mix with nutrients AFTER they LEAVE the stomach and are in the first part of the small intestine (the duodenum). They don't mix in the stomach.
