The roles of HCL in our stomach are as follows :
1) It provides acidic nature .
2) It activates the enzyme pepsin .
3) It kills the germs that may have entered into our stomach with food.
In other words,
Hydrochloric acid gets mixed with food and kills the bacteria present in food. It also destroys the structure of proteins so that the enzymes can digest them easily. Hydrochloric acid also creates acidic conditions necessary for the action of the enzyme pepsin. It activates pepsin to act on proteins.
