A thermal process that denatures bone collagen and liquefies marrow fat for extraction.
Origin: Indigenous peoples of North America (Prehistoric to contemporary) — North America
See full technique reference →Collagen denaturation occurs at 150–200 °C, breaking down the protein matrix and releasing amino acids and peptides that enhance umami. The marrow fat, composed of triglycerides, melts at around 37–40 °C, allowing it to be drawn out while the bone matrix remains intact.
Primary Reaction
