The stomach's main function is digestion. It does this by: The stomach uses pepsin (enzyme) and peptidase (another enzyme) to break down proteins in your food. The acid released by the stomach doesn't break down food it only provides a good environment for the enzymes to work in.
The stomach produces its own amylase, which is called gastric amylase. However, this amylase appears to play a minor role in starch digestion in the stomach. The stomachâs main digestive enzymes are ones that digest proteins.
