FOOD TECHNOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The muscles of the small intestine mix food with digestive juices from the pancreas, liver, and intestine and push the mixture forward to help with further digestion. The walls of the small intestine absorb the digested nutrients into the bloodstream. The blood delivers the nutrients to the rest of the body.

Detailed explanation-2: -Food moves through your GI tract by a process called peristalsis. The large, hollow organs of your GI tract contain a layer of muscle that enables their walls to move. The movement pushes food and liquid through your GI tract and mixes the contents within each organ.

Detailed explanation-3: -Fiber is not a nutrient but helps improve digestive func-tion and may have other health benefits. How does fiber work? Fiber affects the rate of digestion of foods, the absorption of nutrients, and the move-ment of waste products (stool) through the colon.
