Gastric juice is produced by the lining of the stomach and contains hydrochloric acid and proteases.Proteases in the stomach digest the proteins in the food into shorter chains of amino acids and the hydrochloric acid provides the acidic condition in the stomach for the proteases to work.It also kills bacteria which may have been swallowed with the food.
