See full technique reference →Thermal treatment at 70–75 °C denatures myofibrillar proteins and initiates Maillard browning while preserving collagen integrity; exceeding 80 °C causes collagen cross‑linking, resulting in toughness. Acidic marinades lower pH, activating endogenous proteases that cleave myosin and reduce myoglobin oxidation, enhancing juiciness and flavor.
