Description
Precise low‑temperature cooking in vacuum preserves protein structure and moisture while preventing oxidation.
Technical
At 55–65 °C the myosin denatures selectively while actin remains native, limiting gel formation. Vacuum sealing removes oxygen, suppressing lipid‑oxidation pathways that generate aldehydes and ketones. Added NaCl or phosphates increase ionic strength, enhancing myofibrillar water‑binding and reducing drip loss.
