Give a reason why piece of food is dissolved by digestive enzymes more rapidly if it chewed first?

Increased Surface Area:

Chewing physically breaks down the food into smaller pieces, increasing its surface area. The digestive enzymes can then work on a larger surface area, allowing for faster and more efficient digestion. The smaller pieces have more surface area exposed to the enzymes, which allows the enzymes to work more quickly.
