Why is it possible for spacemen to pass food down their esophagus in the absence of gravity?

How does mouth action aid digestion?
The teeth cut, chop, and grind food into small pieces. Glands bring saliva into the mouth to moisten the food. Saliva contains the enzyme ptyalin, which begins to digest starch, a carbohydrate manufactured by green plants. The tongue pushes the moist ground food against the cheeks where there are glands that secrete mucus, lubricating the food even more and making it easier to chew and swallow. Once food has been reduced to a soft moist mass called a bolus, it is ready to be swallowed.
How do the enzymes affect digestion?

Why is the sludge in an aerobic digestion tank stirred and heated during sewage treatment?
Without stirring, oxygen does not get to the majority of the sludge. This makes it anaerobic rather than aerobic. Anaerobic bacteria tend to be nastier, and emit methane, a powerful and explosive greenhouse gas. If the waste is aerobicly treated, it is less likely to absorb oxygen when it is ejected into a local river, and less likely to hurt local wildlife (fish).
Proteins are digested by proteasees (enzymes) in the digestive system. Trypsin, peps, chymotrypsis are the proteases of stomach that start digesting proteins in to peptides. Enteropeptidases further digest them to small peptides and finally amino acids.
