Description
Low‑temperature smoke‑roasting of meat using sage smoke to preserve and flavor.
Technical
The process combines controlled heat (60–80 °C) with phenolic compounds from sage smoke, which act as antimicrobial agents and antioxidants. Heat denatures surface proteins, forming a protective charred layer, while sage phenolics penetrate the meat to inhibit oxidation and microbial growth.
Science
Primary Reaction
Thermal denaturation of surface proteins and inhibition of lipid oxidation by sage phenolics during smoke‑roasting.
