Meat fermentation with fungal enzymes uses selected fungi to break down proteins and fats, enhancing flavor and texture.
Origin: Japanese, Korean, European (Traditional and modern (20th–21st century)) — East Asia, Europe
See full technique reference →Proteolytic enzymes such as Aspergillus oryzae proteases hydrolyze myofibrillar proteins into peptides, while lipases from Penicillium roqueforti cleave triglycerides into free fatty acids. These reactions occur optimally at 20–35 °C under low‑oxygen conditions, producing umami‑rich peptides and aroma‑contributing fatty acids.
