QUESTION 49-What is the term for the preservation technique involving the use of salt to cover and partially dehydrate meats?

Correct Incorrect Salt curing---By applying salt to the meat and partially dehydrating it, osmosis occurs, drawing out moisture and replacing it with salt. This process helps to preserve the meat and prevent the growth of bacteria, including botulism. It is commonly used for preserving hams, summer sausages, fish, and other types of meat.
