Tenderizers make meats, and I'm limiting my answer to red meats and not fish, more tender primarily by weakening the protein fibers making the meat come apart more easily when it is being chewed. Certain compounds also loosen the gristle fibers, which are made of cartilage, and are distributed throughout red meat in varying degrees depending on the cut of meat, the grade of the meat and the animal, thus making them easier to masticate to the point they may be swallowed comfortably.
