Curing is one way to
preserve food by providing a combination of preservative ingredients such as
salt, nitrates, nitrites, sugars, and other ingredients that can add flavor,
which is usually done to preserve and give flavor and color to food, especially
meat, fish, or vegetables.
Curing in meat requires salt
which is the first food preservative used by humans. Salt has become an
important ingredient in preserving livestock and fishery products. At a certain
level, salt prevents the growth of certain types of bacteria that are
responsible for decaying meat. Salt can prevent bacterial growth, both caused
by the inhibitory effects directly from bacteria and by the drying effect of
bacteria in meat.
