Digesting" a solid material in chemistry means to contact the material with a liquid until at least part of the original material is dissolved in the digesting liquid. Heating is often applied to speed the reaction. Thus, biological digestion in humans is a special case of chemical digestion, when solid food particles are mixed with the natural acid solution in the stomach and changed to water soluble materials.
