Hydrodyne Process is a technology based on the controlled detonation of explosives in water to create hydrodynamic shock waves (HSW). This represented the first approach to evaluating the applicability of HSW to tenderize meat. Shock waves were found to significantly improve tenderness. In addition, research was conducted to investigate the effects the shock waves relative to the potential to reduce or eliminate pathogens and/or extend the shelflife of ground beef.
