SALT :D
USES 1. Seasoning:
Salt is used as a seasoning to enhance the taste of food or make otherwise bland foods palatable.
2. Preservative:
For centuries, salt has been used to preserve foods such as meat, fish and dairy products.
3.Binding agent
Salt acts as a binder as it helps extract the myofibrillar proteins in processed and formed meats, binding the meat together and reducing cooking losses.
4. Colour controller:
Used with sugar and nitrate, salt gives processed meats, such as ham, bacon and hot dogs, a more attractive colour.
5. Texture aid:
Salt strengthens gluten in bread dough, providing uniform grain, texture and strength, allowing the dough to expand without tearing.
6.Fermentation control:
In baked products, salt controls fermentation by retarding the growth of bacteria, yeast and moulds.
