Vacuum infusion uses reduced pressure and precise temperature to gently extract flavors from proteins while preserving delicate aromas.
Origin: Japanese and French (20th–21st century) — Japan and France
See full technique reference →By lowering the boiling point of water, vacuum infusion allows heating at 60–70 °C, which maximizes extraction of volatile and lipophilic compounds without denaturing proteins. The controlled environment also limits oxidation of fats, maintaining flavor integrity. The process relies on solvent extraction principles under reduced pressure.
