Transversal slices of a raw (top) and fried (bottom) bovine meat at 130 °C. We can
observe intramuscular fat and oil that have penetrate severalmillimeters into the fried sample.
From these images, the average profile was extracted of oil penetration after a 130 °C and
a 180 °C frying process. Temperature profilesmeasured in the samples during the frying process
are also shown. Oil penetration is higher at 180 °C (~5 mm) than at 130 °C (~2.5 mm).
