Hydrochloric Acid
Pepsin is the most important enzyme in gastric juice. It begins the digestion of nearly all types of dietary protein into polypeptides. (Originates from the inactive form pepsinogen)
The two compounds of gastric juice is the enzyme pepsin, which digests and catalyzes the breakdown of protein into peptides. The other compound is hydrochloric acid, but I'm not sure what it does.
The optimum pH for tryspin is about 8.0, which is the pH of the intestine, whereas the pH of gastric juice is 1.5-2.0, which is highly acidic.

Pepsin - it breaks proteins into peptide fragments
That chemical would be hydrochloric acid.
