I hope to work on writing up some more on some the above points. Chavatshimshon 05:38, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Weird, I was just looking for the studies about marination, grilling, and HCAs, but I can't find anything. Citation needed, indeed. 21:47, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Yea. Simply because of the severe subject matter of cancer, that claim stands out to me as really bold. Without a citation, these statements can come off as untruthful and possibly malicious to readers. Teimu.tm (talk) 00:19, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Health?

>>Some studies have shown that a reaction between creatine in muscle meats and amino acids caused by flame-cooking at high temperatures produces cancer-causing agents known as heterocyclic amines (HCA).

This seems to be related to flame-cooking raction with muscle meat. If that sentence has anything whatsoever to do with marination specifically, it is not clear. TheHYPO (talk) 04:30, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have any reference, but I've read that marinating can reduce the carcinogenic effect of high-temperature cooking. I suspect that's what the above refers to. -- 13 July 2010. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.97.111.99 (talk) 19:55, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

tissue breakdown?

Acids don't cause the tissues in meat to break down, this is a myth, just like how searing "seals in juices" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.86.56.97 (talk) 22:30, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No myth here. e.g nitric acid will disolve meat totally. LookingGlass (talk) 08:16, 22 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Stub article status?

There seems to be considerable disagreement on the net regarding marinading (see e.g: http://www.cheftalk.com/t/15717/marinades versus the views of http://amazingribs.com/recipes/rubs_pastes_marinades_and_brines/zen_of_marinades.html and the general confusion illustrated in http://community.cookinglight.com/archive/index.php/t-92481.html) As this wiki article doesn't further anything much at this point about the issues involved in marination shouldn't it be labelled as a stub?
