Saliva
There are many different liquids that break down food. For digestion, however, there are two. Hydrochloric acid and the enzymes in saliva. The salivary enzymes prepare food by weakening it and slightly dissolving the material until it passes into the stomach where the much stronger hydrochloric acid breaks down the food into a nutritious soup that can then be absorbed into the bloodstream via villi in the small intestine.
