How does pickling help to preserve fruits, vegetables and meat?
उत्तर
- Pickling is the process of preserving fruits, vegetables, or meat by soaking them in a vinegar, salt, and spice solution known as brine.
- This procedure contributes to food preservation by providing an acidic environment that prevents the growth of bacteria, yeasts, and moulds that cause spoilage.
- The pickling solution's high acidity inhibits the growth of harmful microorganisms, extending the shelf life of the food.
- Furthermore, the salt in the brine drains moisture from the food, preventing bacterial growth and preserving its texture and flavour.
- The pickling process's combination of acidity and salt provides a hostile environment for spoilage organisms, allowing fruits, vegetables, and meat to be safely stored for long periods of time without refrigeration.
