Hydrochloric acid is released by the stomach. It mixes with pepsinogen to produce pepsin. Pepsin breaks down proteins. The hydrochloric acid also helps turn the solid food into a liquid that makes digestion possible. In addition, the HCl being very acidic provides protective mechanism to the body by being anti-bacterial in action. lastly , it converts the ferric iron to its ferrous form..and helps in its absorption..
