ANSWER :)
The process of chewing the food and conversion of the food to bolus is known as mastication. The process takes place in the mouth. The teeth are mainly responsible for the process of mastication. The teeth are involved in the chewing, crushing and conversion of the particles of the food.
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.
