What is Digestive Process: pH and Enzymes about?

The document discusses how salt neutralizes acid in the stomach to a pH of around 8 to allow pancreatic enzymes to break down food. These enzymes break down starch into maltose, fats into fatty acids and glycerol, and proteins into peptides to further break down food for digestion. Bile is also involved in breaking up fat molecules but is not an enzyme. The only nutrient not fully broken down is fat.
