Protein
"Small portions of the mashed sandwich are pushed into the digesting area of the stomach, where gastric juice mixes with the mass. Acid in gastric juice unwinds proteins for the bread, seeds, and peanut butter; then an enzyme clips the protein strands into pieces. The sandwich has now become chyme."
