In the stomach it is mechanically mixed into chyme while gastric juice (HCl and pepsin) begins protein digestion (HCl also denatures proteins and activates pepsinogen). Mucus protects the stomach lining; a little fat digestion occurs by gastric lipase. Small amounts of chyme are then released into the small intestine for further digestion and absorption.
