Wikipedia Article About Meat tenderizer on Wikipedia

In cooking, tenderizing is a process to break down collagens in meat to make it more palatable for consumption.

There are three basic forms:
 * Mechanical tenderization, such as pounding.
 * The tenderization that occurs through cooking, such as braising.
 * Tenderizers in the form of naturally occurring enzymes, which can be added to food before cooking.
