The amount yielded will depend upon the fat and water content of the raw meat. Leaner meats will give more yield. During cooking, heat causes protein molecules to break down and muscle fibers will shrink and shorten, pushing water out. At the same time, fat melts in the cooking heat, although some will be retained in the meat. Eventually the protein molecules recombine and coagulate. This process is known as denaturing. The yield varies widely between meat species and even within a species, based on diet.
