Functions of gastric juice :
- Hydrochloric acid carries out hydrolysis of food stuff and act as antiseptic.
- Renin acts as milk protein caseinogens and converts it into casein which is then digested by pepsin.
- The enzyme pepsin, with hydrochloric acid, digests protein into peptone and proteoses.
- Gastric juice excretes toxins, heavy metals and certain drugs.
