The role of HCl is :
- Hydrochloric acid is an essential acid in the stomach.
- It helps destroy bacteria, as well as other harmful species.
- It also works as a preservative of food.
- HCl converts pepsinogen which is not active into pepsin to metabolize proteins in our stomach.
- HCl also acts as another stomach cover apart from mucus, to avoid the pepsin to digesting the entire stomach.
