Chewing and stomach acid is cool, but the MAJORITY of digestion is completed by enzymes. In each organ of the digestive system, specific enzymes are catalyzing digestion reactions, functioning at their optimum environment in that organ. But, from the mouth to the stomach and from the stomach to the small intestine, the pH level of the digestive tract dramatically changes. How does this affect the enzymes that move along with food?
