What You Need to Know
By applying controlled temperatures, pressures, and fermentation conditions, vegetable stems, citrus peels, and protein scraps release glucosinolates, beta‑carotene, limonene, flavonoids, collagen peptides, and lactic acids. These compounds enhance umami, aroma, and preservation while minimizing waste. The chemistry of Maillard browning, collagen solubilization, and acidification is harnessed to produce flavorful stocks, oils, and fermented products.
