Digestion involves both mechanical and bio-chemical processing of food. Basically, it is the break down of complex organic substances of food like carbohydrates, proteins and fats (macronutrients) into simple, soluble inorganic substances. So, it can be defined as the conversion of insoluble polymer of food into their soluble monomers
