Q

What does Ca2+ and Mg2+ do?

A

Decrease rate of salt penetration

25
What is the difference between salting and curing?
Salting - salts only Curing - combination of salt, sugar, nitrite, nitrates
26
Rosario, Cavite is also called
Salinas
27
True or false. If the surface is already dry, the salt can no longer enter.
True.
28
Should salt be used alone for preservation?
No. Pure salt can only be used at acceptable levels of 2-3%. This is not a good concentration for preservation. Going beyond would also result in undesirable effects.
29
Refined salt contains what kind of impurities?
Other minerals
30
True or false. Salt can be pure NaCl
False.
31
True or false. Culinary salts are used for preservation,
False.
32
The undesirable effects of salt when used alone
Harsh dry salty product Dark colored lean
33
Why are bacteria, molds, yeast unable to grow in such conditions?
There is no free water available for microbial growth.
34
What is the disadvantage of salting fruits and vegetables?
Causes large losses in vitamin and mineral content
35
Oldest known form of preserving meat
Salting
36
Wet brined chicken is relatively bigger. Why?
It absorbs water and there is no dehydration.
37
Rock salt contains what kind of impurities?
Sand and other insolubles
38
Factors affecting salt penetration
Presence of impurities Brine temperature Salt concentration Volume of brine relative to food Brine agitation Size of food
39
Where does the term “corned” come from?
Comes from putting meat in a large crock and then covering it with large kernels of rock salt or “corns of salt,” preserving the meat.
40
Impurities found in salt
Sand and other insolubles - 0.6% Calcium salts - 1.36% Magnesium chloride - 2.7% Magnesium sulfate - 3.9%
41
Maximum threshold Salmonella Staphylococcus Listeria monocytogenes
3% 20% 12%
42
Salting dates back to _______, shown by _________ culture.

To remove harsh salt taste.
47
When is the earliest recorded use of the term “corned”?
888 AD
48
Positive results of the conducted study for ASIN law
Color is enhanced Higher levels of iodine per serving Highly accepted by the consumers Significant amount of iodine left in food products
49
How does salt act as a preservative?
Plasmolyzes the microbial cell Removes water by osmosis Reduce water activity Reduces solubility of oxygen in a solution and deprives aerobic organisms of needed oxygen Denatures protein of microbial enzymes
50
RA 8172
ASIN Law
51
Are salted products also “cured”?
Yes.
52
Other term for salting

55
Salting of fish Dry salting Brining
30-40% by weight 36% solution
56
Advantages of salt
Inexpensive and available Simple technology Decreases bulk/weight of foods Prolongs shelf life
57
The fish tissue should have
6-10% of salt
58
How do the different factors affect salt penetration?
Lower impurities, higher SP Higher brine temperature, higher SP Higher salt concentration, higher SP Food submerged, more SP Higher brine agitation, higher SP Smaller size of food, higher SP
