Sous‑vide preservation uses vacuum‑sealed bags in a precisely controlled water bath to pasteurize foods at low temperatures over extended periods.
Origin: Western culinary science (21st century) — Global
See full technique reference →The technique relies on thermal inactivation of pathogens while maintaining protein structure; low temperatures prevent denaturation, and vacuum removes oxygen to inhibit oxidation. Collagen gelatinization improves tenderness, and the controlled environment preserves color and flavor.
