What would be happen if HCL were not secreted in stomach?

Hydrochloric acid is secreted by the glands present on the stomach walls. It dissolves bits of food and creates an acidic medium. The acidic medium allows pepsinogen to be converted into pepsin. Pepsin plays an important role in the digestion of proteins. Therefore, if HCl were not secreted in the stomach, then pepsin would not be activated. This would affect protein digestion. A pH of about 1.8 is necessary for proteins to be digested. This pH is achieved by HCl.

Effect of HCl on protein digestion by pepsin and starch digestion by sallivary amylase?

HCl activates pepsinogen to form pepsin, which is the active form of the enzyme pepsin necessary for protein digestion in the stomach. However, HCl does not directly affect salivary amylase. Salivary amylase works optimally at a neutral pH in the mouth before food reaches the stomach, where it begins the digestion of starch into smaller sugars before being inactivated by stomach acid.

It is really important, because if there is no digestion we can't get nutrients from food. So digestion is really important to our body.
