    The large intestine does not digest food. It simply is used to absorb water and compact the stool. The majority of digestion occurs in the small intestine where nu â¦ trients are also absorbed for the body.Some digestion occurs in the stomach but is mostly used to decompose the food into a form that the small intestine can digest.+ 6 others found this useful.he majority of digestion occurs in the small intestine where nu â¦ trients are also absorbed for the body.

Rate of digestion. Digestion of food involves chemical reactions that break up large food molecules into their âbuilding blockâ components. There are a number of factors that affect the rates of these reactions.We look at how surface area, temperature and pH all influence the rate of digestion of large food molecules.igestion of food involves both mechanical and chemical processes. Through digestion, large food particles are converted into smaller components that can be readily absorbed into the bloodstream. We look at mechanical digestion and the chemical digestion (enzymatic hydrolysis) of carbohydrates, proteins and fats.
