Yes, of course it does! Its the white frothy stuff that is in your mouth. You need it to make food wet so it is easier for your stomach to digest it.

It's from the salivary glands, not the mouth itself. And besides making food wet saliva contains amylase which begins the breakdown of carbohydrates.
