Description
Vacuum‑seal marination removes air from the meat‑marinade interface, promoting uniform flavor infiltration and proteolytic tenderization while suppressing oxidation and spoilage.
Technical
By creating an anaerobic environment, vacuum sealing reduces dissolved oxygen, thereby limiting lipid oxidation and the formation of off‑flavors. The absence of air also enhances the penetration of proteolytic enzymes and flavor molecules into muscle fibers, accelerating the breakdown of myofibrillar proteins into peptides and free amino acids. Low‑temperature storage (2–5 °C) further preserves freshness and inhibits microbial growth.
