Key Variables
pH range: 4.5-5.5 for optimal protein denaturationSalt concentration: 2-3% for optimal protein denaturationTemperature range: 4°C-10°C for optimal food safetyMarination time: 30 minutes to 2 hours for optimal flavor and textureSesame oil concentration: 1-2% for optimal emulsification

Over-marination
Cause: Excessive acid or salt denaturation
Fix: Adjust marination time or acid/salt concentration
Under-marination
Cause: Insufficient acid or salt denaturation
Fix: Increase marination time or acid/salt concentration
