Most of the digestion occurs in the stomach and small intestine, however some components are harder to digest and that may occur in the large intestine or with help from the gallbladders bile.
Physical digestion occurs in the mouth, by a process called chewing, rendering bites of food even smaller. Chemical digestion begins in the mouth (saliva contains enzymes that begin the chemical breakdown process) and ends in the intestines.

Mechanical digestion occurs in the mouth as your teeth are "mechanically" breaking up the food.

The hydrochloric acid in your stomach continues digestion through chemical means.

Also, saliva in your mouth is also an enzyme that is used in digestion, so technically you have both, mechanical and chemical digestion occurring in your mouth.

Digestion of chime occurs in small intestine due to pancreatic enzyme 'Lipase'. Emulsification of fat occurs due to bile salts. That is sodium glycocholate and sodium taurocholate, sectreted by liver through bile.
