名词 n.

英文释义

名词 n.
  1. The mixing of food with saliva during mastication. dated,uncountable
    — There is an important difference between rapid and thorough digestion. In a similar way, a high temperature of our food facilitates deglutition, but, by dispensing with insalivation and the proper use of our teeth, we make the stomach perform the work of our jaws and salivary glands; in other words, we make our food less digestible.
