What's in saliva to break up meal, say (7)
I believe the answer is:
amylase
'what's in saliva' is the definition.
'break up meal say' is the wordplay.
'break up' indicates an anagram.
'meal'+'say'='mealsay'
'mealsay' is an anagram of 'AMYLASE'.
'to' acts as a link.
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
