Chewing of food is the process of mastication of food. It is important to break down the food mechanically by teeth so that it gets easily mixed with saliva and swallowed. The food should be chewed 20 times before swallow it to increase its surface area.

The function of teeth is chewing of food. It chewing is an important step in direction because it helps to break down the food mechanically, and thus increase the surface area for saliva to do its work.

Chewing (mastication) breaks large food particles into smaller pieces. This mechanical process significantly increases the surface area of the food, allowing digestive enzymes to act more efficiently.

Chewing breaks the large food particles into the small. The mechanical digestion of food in the mouth involves converting bite-sized pieces of food into smaller particles. This has the effect of increasing the surface area of the food particles and allowing saliva to be thoroughly mixed with them.
