Commento su Berakhot 8:7
מִי שֶׁאָכַל וְשָׁכַח וְלֹא בֵרַךְ, בֵּית שַׁמַּאי אוֹמְרִים, יַחֲזֹר לִמְקוֹמוֹ וִיבָרֵךְ. וּבֵית הִלֵּל אוֹמְרִים, יְבָרֵךְ בַּמָּקוֹם שֶׁנִּזְכָּר. עַד אֵימָתַי הוּא מְבָרֵךְ. עַד כְּדֵי שֶׁיִּתְעַכֵּל הַמָּזוֹן שֶׁבְּמֵעָיו:
Se uno mangiava e dimenticava di dire grazia, Beth Shammai dice: Ritorna al suo posto e benedice; e Beth Hillel dicono: Fino a quando il cibo nel suo stomaco non viene assorbito. [Finché non ha fame a causa di quella rifusione, è un segno che il cibo non è stato ancora assorbito. Ed è solo in un caso in cui uno ha dimenticato, che Beth Hillel dice che non ritorna; ma, dove la sua omissione è deliberata, tutti concordano sul fatto che ritorna al suo posto e dice grazia.]
Bartenura on Mishnah Berakhot
שיתעכל המזון שבמעיו – As long as he is not hungry on account of that meal, it is a sign that the food was not consumed in his stomach. And specifically, [when] he forgot, the School of Hillel says that he should not go back, but if he did it on purpose, everyone agrees that he should return to the place [where he ate] and recite the blessing [of ברכת המזון].

English Explanation of Mishnah Berakhot
Until when can he bless? Until sufficient time has passed for the food in his stomach to be digested. He may recite Birkat Hamazon as long as the food is still found in his stomach. According to the Talmud the food is considered to be in his stomach as long as he is not hungry. Once a person is hungry for a new meal we consider it as if the food is no longer in his stomach and he can no longer recite Birkat Hamazon.
