'''Marination''', also known as '''marinating''', is the process of soaking foods in a seasoned, often acidic, liquid before cooking. The origins of the word allude to the use of [[brine]] (aqua marina) in the [[pickling]] process, which led to the technique of adding flavour by immersion in liquid. The liquid in question, the marinade can be acidic with ingredients such as [[vinegar]], [[lemon juice]], or [[wine]], or savoury with [[soy sauce]], [[brine]] or other prepared sauces. Along with these liquids, a marinade often contains [[oils]], [[herbs]], and [[spices]] to further flavour the food items.<br />
It is commonly used to flavour foods and to tenderise tougher cuts of meat or harder vegetables such as [[beetroot]], [[aubergine]] (eggplant) , and [[courgette]] (zucchini). The process may last seconds or days. Different marinades are used in different cuisines. For example, in Indian cuisine the marinade is usually prepared with [[yogurt]] and [[spices]].<br />
