Description
Water‑bath protein rehydration restores moisture to dried muscle proteins at low temperatures while preserving their native structure.
Technical
At 55‑60 °C, water diffuses into the protein matrix driven by concentration gradients. The process is modulated by pH, ionic strength, and functional salts, allowing rapid water uptake without the thermal denaturation that occurs above 65 °C.
