The duodenum receives undigested food from the stomach—called chyme—and mixes it with digestive juices and enzymes (from the intestinal wall and pancreas) as well as with bile from the gallbladder. This mixing process, called chemical digestion, prepares the stomach contents for the breakdown of food and the absorption of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients.

HELLO...
The duodenum is considered the mixing pot of the small intestine because of the churning process that takes place there: it mixes the chyme with enzymes to break down food; adds bicarbonate to neutralize acids, preparing the chyme for the breakdown of fats and proteins in the jejunum; and incorporates bile.
