Gastric secretions are considered to be the first significant phase of digestion since salivary enzymes have limited capacity. By exposing food to a low Ph environment and putting it into contact with the pepsin, gastric secretions allow disassociation of collagen fibers and denaturalization proteolysis of proteins which are present in the cellular matrix.
