Chewing is mechanical digestion.
The large intestine is mechanical digestion; it absorbs water and is involved in peristalsis. It has nothing to do with enzymes, which is chemical digestion.

As far as I know there is no digestion at all in the large intestine, only absorption.
small intestine
The mechanical digestion processes in the large intestine is commonly referred to as peristalsis. The colon is the last stop in the digestive system and this where liquids are extracted from non-nutritive food waste before excretion.
The small intestine completes the process of chemical digestion.
chemical
mechanical digestion is with your teeth , chemical digestion is in your stomach and small intestine.
Yes, in part. Chemical digestion occurs in the mouth (saliva), stomach (gastric acid) and small intestine. The nutrients are mostly absorbed in the walls (lining) of the small intestine.
Food passes through the following organs in order during the process of digestion: mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, and anus. Each organ plays a specific role in breaking down the food into nutrients that can be absorbed by the body.
Minor fiber digestion by bacteria goes on in the large intestine, and water is absorbed, but no major lipid/protein/carbohydrate digestion occurs. All of that goes on higher up in the system.
The large intestine absorbs water, and the small intestine uses small finger like things called villi take the nutrients and take it through the small intestine's wall throughout your body. Both have chemical digestion and small intestion has mechanical digestion.
