HCl or hydrochloric acid is especially important in our stomach.

The stomach is the major organ where food processing occurs. HCl is highly acidic which makes the breakdown of food easier and faster.

Specifically, HCl activates enzymes which are responsible for the breaking down of food. Some enzymes such as pepsin which are reponsible for the breakdown of protein in meat.
