The optimum pH for activity of Peroxidase is 5-7 that is about neutral. The Hydrochloric acid reduces the pH and thus inactivates the enzyme with reducing pH.

Why does protein digestion require the presence of both pepsin and HCl?

Protein digestion requires the presence of both pepsin and HCl because pepsin needs an acidic environment to be able to "work" or do its job. Pepsin needs an environment with a pH around 2, which is roughly the pH of HCl. Therefore, HCl aids pepsin in protien digestions by creating an optimal environment for pepsin to work and digest proteins.
