Description
Vacuum‑infusion sous‑vide marination is a physical mass‑transfer technique that delivers flavor and moisture into protein tissues using low pressure and moderate heat.
Technical
The process relies on osmotic infiltration driven by a vacuum of 0.1–0.2 atm and a temperature of 55–60 °C, which promotes protein denaturation without coagulation. No new chemical species are formed; the infusion liquid simply penetrates the meat matrix, carrying salts, water, and flavor esters.
