It is the bile :)
No, you need protease to break down meat.
Typically, they contain an enzyme (a biological catalyst) that speeds up the break-down (into smaller molecules) of the long tough protein fibers of meat.
Marinades usually contain some kind of acid, whether it be vinegar or citrus juice, which penetrate the meat with the help of the salt that is found in the marinade. The acid then begins to break down the connective tissue in the meat as it metabolizes the proteins.
The acid in wine breaks down the proteins in meat, tenderizing it.
Paw paw has a natural enzyme that makes meat more tender. It does this by breaking down some of the connective tissues in the meat.
enzymes break down food
Bacteria begin to break it down almost instantly.
The meat is frozen so quickly that it doesn't have a chance to start to break down.
Help break down protein to make the meat tender and add flavour
When meat rots bacteria break down some of the components into different substances, so some of the meats is no longer meat.
In order that the flavours that the meat is being marinated in can be transferred to the meat.
· An Italian meat whose spelling begins with the letter "c" is capicola.
