Transforming food scraps into shelf‑stable, nutrient‑rich products through controlled thermal, fermentation, and dehydration processes.
Origin: Japanese, Mexican, and global culinary traditions (Edo period to present) — Asia and Latin America
See full technique reference →Thermal extraction at 90–100 °C pulls soluble solids and nutrients into a stock that can be frozen, while fermentation of fruit peels at 20–25 °C produces lactic acid that lowers pH and inhibits spoilage organisms. Sous‑vide cooking at 55–60 °C pasteurizes meat without drying, and dehydration at 60–70 °C reduces water activity below 0.6, preventing mold growth.
