● The `color{violet}("food mixes")` thoroughly with the `color{violet}("acidic gastric juice")` of the stomach by the churning movements of its `color{violet}("muscular wall")` and is called the `color{brown}("chyme.")`
● The `color{brown}("proenzyme pepsinogen,")` on exposure to `color{violet}("hydrochloric acid")` gets converted into the active enzyme `color{brown}("pepsin")`, the proteolytic enzyme of the stomach.
● `color{violet}("Pepsin")` converts proteins into `color{brown}("proteoses and peptones")` (peptides).
● The `color{brown}("mucus and bicarbonates")` present in the `color{violet}("gastric juice")` play an important role in lubrication and protection of the `color{violet}("mucosal epithelium")` from excoriation by the highly concentrated `color{violet}("hydrochloric acid.")`
● `color{violet}("HCl")` provides the acidic `color{brown}("pH (pH 1.8)")` optimal for `color{violet}("pepsins.")`
● `color{brown}("Rennin")` is a `color{violet}("proteolytic enzyme")` found in `color{violet}("gastric juice")` of infants which helps in the digestion of milk proteins.
● Small amounts of `color{brown}("lipases")` are also secreted by `color{violet}("gastric glands.")`
