When you take a bite of food, the first thing that happens is the mechanical breakdown of the food by your teeth, which chew and grind it into smaller pieces. This process, known as mastication, mixes the food with saliva, which contains enzymes that begin the chemical digestion of carbohydrates. The taste buds on your tongue also detect flavors, sending signals to the brain to enhance the sensory experience of eating.
