In human, starch digestion begins in the buccal cavity, but stops in stomach. Why?

Amylase is not effective in highly acidic environment and the environment of stomach is highly acidic.

because the enzymes required aren't present in the stomach.in the stomach only the enzymes pepsin(for protein digestion) &renin (in babies) is present.also small amount of lipases(for fat digestion is present).
