Gastric acid is a secretion produced in the stomach. It is one of the main solutions secreted, together with several enzymes and intrinsic factors. Chemically it is an acid solution with a pH of 1 to 2 in the stomach lumen, consisting mainly of hydrochloric acid (HCl) (around 0.5%, or 5000 parts per million), and large quantities of potassium chloride (KCl) and sodium chloride (NaCl).
If you mean enzymes that digest and break up the food, these are lipase, protease and amylase.
Lipase breaks up fat into glycerol and fatty acid.
Protease breaks up protein into amino acids.
Amylase breaks up starch into sugars.
