Mastication is a technical word for the act of chewing.

Mastication is the noun form of the verb masticate, meaning to chew or, less commonly, to reduce to a pulp by crushing or kneading, as is done in the rubber-making process. Mastication is almost always used in a scientific or technical context. In the everyday context of eating, people usually just say chewing.

Example: Saliva is released from glands under the tongue to aid in the process of mastication.
