Answer:

It will enable gut enzymes to act on the bolus during digestion.

Explanation:

With this composition that will be sent to the duodenum, there will be neutralization of acidic solution coming from the stomach and pH leveling around 8.0 (slightly basic) which is great for the enzymes that work there.
