hello please like my answer ❣️
HCl is responsible for the high acidity (pH 1.5 to 3.5) of the stomach contents and is needed to activate the protein-digesting enzyme, pepsin.
The acidity also kills much of the bacteria you ingest with food and helps to denature proteins, making them more available for enzymatic digestion.
