1.collagen conversion: When the cooking temperature reaches 60-70℃, the collagen in the connective tissue will be hydrolyzed into gelatin, which is the key to tender meat. The latest experimental data shows that stewing for 3 hours can increase the collagen conversion rate to 92%.
2.muscle fiber softening: Long-term low-temperature heating (55-75℃) can relax the protein structure between muscle fibers. The latest popular 48-hour slow-cooked beef brisket is a typical example.
