The purpose of the gullet (or esophagus) is to transport food to the stomach. However, enzymes are already introduced to the food before it reaches the esophagus. Salivary amylase is introduced in the mouth and lingual lipase is introduced at the back part of the tongue. These enzyme will start breaking down the food. Hence, some digestion can occur in the esophagus.
