Hey there! Zygarde here. This is your answer in a simplified way.
Gastric juice contains...
1)Hydrochloric acid- kills the bacteria and makes the medium (partly digested food) acidic .
2)Pepsin- breaks down protein molecules.
3)Mucus- protects the walls of stomach from erosion by Hydrochloric acid and helps in smooth flow of the partly digested food.
Hope it helps you!!!
