Description
A modernist technique that uses reduced pressure to drive volatile aromatic compounds into foods.
Technical
The method relies on pressure‑enhanced diffusion, where a vacuum removes air and creates a concentration gradient that pulls volatile aromatics into the food matrix. Low‑temperature conditions (4–8 °C) preserve heat‑sensitive volatiles, while pressure (≈0.1 atm) and time (30 min–2 h) are tuned to achieve the desired intensity. Adjusting these variables allows precise control over flavor penetration without cooking the product.
