This study aimed to investigate the modelling of the transport of sage phenolics into meat cubes under various vacuum impregnation (VI) conditions (Control, VI-100, VI-250, and VI-500 mbar; ultrasound-assisted (UA) VI-100, VI-250, and VI-500 mbar). Azuara model from five different models has been proposed as a model that can be used successfully in describing kinetic parameters. After 180 min of treatment, the phenolic contents of the samples were determined between 462.7 and 639.8 mg/kg. Although the highest phenolic content (639.8 mg/kg) was obtained in the samples applied UAVI-100, the highest equilibrium phenolic content was calculated in the samples applied VI-100 in the calculations performed with the Azuara model. In addition, the diffusion coefficients calculated for the samples varied between 8.5 × 10−6 and 11.4 × 10−6 m2/s.
