The juice used to digest food in the stomach is gastric juice, which primarily consists of hydrochloric acid, pepsinogen (an inactive enzyme that becomes pepsin in the presence of acid), and mucus. Hydrochloric acid helps break down food and creates an acidic environment for enzymes to function effectively. Pepsin, once activated, plays a key role in digesting proteins. The mucus protects the stomach lining from the corrosive effects of the acid.
