-About the material-

Salt is a seasoning widely used around the world and is used to improve the flavor and preservability of foods. Salt is a crystalline compound consisting of sodium and chloride, found in nature in seawater and underground salt mines.

The main roles of salt are:

  1. Role as a seasoning:Salt is an important seasoning in cooking and plays a role in enhancing the flavor of ingredients. Adding the right amount of salt brings out the flavor of the ingredients and balances the dish.

  2. Flavor and enhancement of food:Salt can be sprinkled directly on food or added during cooking to enhance the flavor of the food. Adding salt also draws out the moisture in the food, making it even more delicious.

  3. Preservation of food:Salt is used to improve the preservation of food. Salt has the effect of suppressing the growth of microorganisms and plays a role in protecting food from spoilage. In particular, salting and salt-drying techniques are often used for long-term preservation of foodstuffs.

  4. Fermentation and preservative effects:Salt is also used in the production of fermented foods. Adding salt promotes a favorable fermentation process while inhibiting the growth of harmful bacteria. For example, salt is essential in the production of fermented foods such as pickles, soy sauce, and miso.
