Raccoons main senses are touch and smell. Their sense of touch is greater under water and since they rely heavily on their sense of touch, they prefer to feel the food under the water. They often dip their food in water. They do, however, produce saliva - although it is a popular wives tale that raccoons do not produce saliva - that is incorrect.
