According to recent popular science content from food science accounts, mutton flavor removal is mainly based on three principles:
1.physical adsorption: The porous structure of ingredients such as white radish and sugar cane can absorb odorous substances (data source: @ Diet Science School’s October tweets)
2.chemical decomposition: Tea polyphenols in tea and enzymes in beer can decompose fatty acids (data source: Zhihu hot post "Mutton Deodorization Laboratory")
3.Odor masking: Spices such as Sichuan peppercorns and cumin can neutralize odors through strong aroma (data source: the latest video of "Gourmet Chemistry" of Bilibili UP)
3. Scenario operation guide
| cooking stage | Recommended method | Things to note |
|---|---|---|
| preprocessing | Soak in water for 2 hours + 1 spoon of white vinegar | Need to change water more than 3 times |
| blanch water | Add cold water to the pot + 3 slices of ginger + 1 green onion | Skim the foam |
| stew | Add half a white radish/sugar cane segment | Take it out after 30 minutes |
| BBQ | Beer + pickled onions for 4 hours | Refrigerate and pickle |
4. Evaluation of emerging deodorization solutions in October
According to Douyin’s popular video on the #kitchenblacktech topic, effective innovative methods have recently been tested:
1.Carbonated water soaking method: Soak in soda water for 1 hour, and the deodorizing effect is increased by 40% (@ Food Evaluation Jun 10/15 experimental data)
2.Bromelain pickled: Fresh pineapple juice is marinated for 2 hours, and the smell decomposition rate reaches 72% (Source: WeChat popular science account "Food Laboratory")
3.Low temperature molecular cooking method: Slowly cooked at 55°C for 6 hours to retain nutrients and remove flavors (Michelin chef 10/18 live demonstration)
5. Reminder of common misunderstandings
1.Over blanching: Boiling in boiling water for more than 5 minutes will cause the meat to become hard (10/20 Weibo Food V voting results)
