Verified by Experts

In stomach, food is mixed with gastric juice which contains a strong proteolytic enzyme Pepsin. It is an endopeptidase enzyme and hydrolyses the proteins into peptones and proteoses in an acidic medium `("1.2 - 1.8 pH")` provided by HCl.
Rennin enzyme of gastric juice causes curdling of milk and increases the period of action of pepsin on the milk proteins like casein.
