What does mastification mean?

(("Mastication" means; to chew and/or grind and knead.)) Yes, but seeing as the how the question asked what mastiFIcation means and not in fact mastication, I will answer this correctly. Mastification is the mechanical breakdown of food, then mixing the food with saliva. Thoroughly uncommon term.
