See full technique reference →During heating, connective tissue proteins denature and precipitate, allowing triglyceride fat to melt and separate. The process preserves saturated, monounsaturated, and omega‑3 polyunsaturated fatty acids while minimizing oxidation if temperatures stay below 200 °C.
Primary Reaction
