Chyme is the mix of food and digestive fluids.
The term is often applied to the acidic mix that reaches the upper small intestine, the duodenum, where the acid is neutralized by bile from the gall bladder and by alkaline pancreatic fluid. At this point, the stomach enzymes cease activity and the food is prepared for absorption in the jejunum.
