The brush border of intestinal villi contains various Pep-tidase s. They brake down small Pep-tides into amine acids. Various Bi-sachharidases to spit Maltose, Sucrose and lactose sugars. (Maltese, Sucrase and Lactase are the enzymes.) Small quantity of intestinal lipase to split Fat into glycerol and Fatty acids. So this type of digestion is called as contact digestion and it takes place in small intestine.

Where does most of the chemical digestion take place in humans?
It is the Duodenum!Actually, most chemical digestion, in humans, takes place in the small intestine.Chemical digestion takes place in the small intestine, the stomach and the mouth.
Could chemical digestion take place if mechanical digestion did not occur?
Mechanical digestion, i.e. your body breaking up the food into smaller pieces, is largely meant to speed chemical digestion up. We know that the rate at which the chemical reaction takes place is dependent on four things: the physical state of the reactants involved in the reaction, the temperature at which the reaction takes place, the concentration of the reactants, and the presence of a catalyst. Each influences the rate of reaction in different ways. Mechanical digestion breaks the food into smaller pieces, i.e. changes the physical state. With the larger pieces broken into smaller ones, more surface area is exposed. With greater surface area exposure, chemical digestion can take place much more rapidly. However, if for some reason you could get just huge chunks of food down your throat without chewing it, your stomach still churns (mechanical digestion) and the contractions in your intestines also help to break up food. So technically yes, chemical digestion would take place, but at a much slower and inefficient manner.
