Is cornstarch a meat tenderizer

Cornstarch is not a traditional meat tenderizer; it does not contain enzymes that break down proteins like some other tenderizers (such as papaya or pineApple). However, it can be used in cooking techniques like marinating or coating meat, which may help create a tender texture by retaining moisture. Additionally, cornstarch can be used to thicken sauces that accompany meat dishes.
