well the closest answer I could come up with would be enzyme like the two people before me put but, enzymes don't just break foods into smaller particles enzymes actually change the chemicals structure so it becomes a different particle. That different particle would be called the waste even though it could be very important.

Depends what kind of food. For starch it's amylase, for fat it's bile, for protein it's peptides. They are all enzymes, if that's the term you were wanting to know.

Amylase in the saliva, and HCl in the stomach.

They're called ENZYMES.
There are different enzymes for different things.
