The stomach is responsible for the initial digestion of proteins through the release of HCl and enzymes such as pepsin.

 The pancreas produces enzymes that aid in the digestion of carbohydrates (starch), proteins, and fats, but its main function is to secrete enzymes for starch digestion. The pancreatic amylase digests starch into simpler sugars.
