Respuesta:

Bile. After it has been in the stomach, food travels to the small intestine. The enzymes in the small intestine work best in alkaline conditions - but the food is acidic after being in the stomach.

Explicación:

The small intestine is the major site of protein digestion by proteases (enzymes that cleave proteins). The pancreas secretes a number of proteases as zymogens into the duodenum where they must be activated before they can cleave peptide bonds1. This activation occurs through an activation cascade.
