👉 Tenderizers are substances that act as a catalyst in chemical reactions. They can be used to increase the rate of a reaction by providing an energy source, typically in the form of heat or light. Tenderizers can also be found in different forms such as catalysts for reactions with metals (e.g., Co(3+), Ni(2+)), organic compounds (e.g., 1,2-diphenyl-3-oxo-1H-pyrene, N,N
