Raw materials needed in salting, curing and smoking
Salt - In the Kitchen, there’s no ingredient more important than salt. Aside from being
one of the five basic tastes (salty, bitter, sour, and umami), salt has properties that
release food molecules into the air, giving the food an aroma- an integral part of taste.
1. Table salt 7. Kala Namak
2. Kosher salt 8. Flake salt
3. Sea salt 9. Black Hawaiian salt
4. Himalayan Pink salt 10. Red Hawaiian salt
5. Celtic Sea salt 11. Smoked Salt
6. Fleur de Sel 12. Pickling salt
Types of Meat
Pork- Pork is one of the most popular forms of meat in the world. Despite some
confusion on the issue, pork is classed as red meat. This is because it contains a large
amount of myoglobin, a protein responsible for the red color of meat.
Beef- When most people think of red meat, they probably imagine beef. There are many
different beef products and cuts of beef, ranging from hamburgers to rib eye steaks.
While mainstream health advice often dictates selecting the leanest cuts of red meat,
fatty cuts of beef are perfectly healthy.
Lamb and Mutton- Both lamb and mutton are very similar types of meat, with one
fundamental difference;
➢ Lamb is from a sheep less than one-year-old
➢ Mutton is the meat of an adult sheep
Just like beef and pork, there are variety of popular lamb cuts- perhaps lamb chops are
the most popular.
Chicken- Alongside beef and pork, chicken is one of the ‘big three’ popularity wise.
However, chicken is a different classification of meat and comes under the poultry
category. People commonly refer to as “white meat” rather than red.
Turkey- Turkey is another type of white meat, probably best known for its appearance at
the Christmas table! It has both a deeper yet drier taste than chicken and is a less
prevalent form of poultry.
Venison - Venison refers to the flesh of a deer, and it is a traditionally rarer type of meat.
In recent years, sales of venison have been soaring as a result of its healthy reputation
among consumers.
Duck - Duck is one of the less popular types of meat. However, it has immense
popularity in Chinese populations, where ‘Peking duck’ is a showpiece dish. Like chicken
and turkey, we can consider duck as a kind of white meat.
Wild Boar - Wild boar is a non-domesticated pig that lives in the wild. The meat of this
animal is also known as ‘ wild boar ‘. Generally speaking, wild boar contains a higher
proportion of protein and a smaller amount of fat than regular pork.
Fish and other Marine Products
Fish as Food - Fish has been an important source of protein and other nutrients for
humans from time immemorial. In culinary and fishery contexts, fish may include
shellfish, such as mollusks, crustaceans and echinoderms.

B. MODELING (I DO)
Curing ingredients and their functions:
SALT - It is most important curing ingredient. It makes up the bulk of the curing mixture because
it is not only a good preservative but it provides the most desirable flavor. As a preservative, it
causes the partial dehydration of the tissue through osmosis, at the same time withdraws water
from the protoplasm of the spoilage organisms,
shriveling and inactivating their cells.
SUGAR-This is a secondary ingredient in curing formula which counteracts saltiness. It enhances
flavor by caramelizing the raw ingredient at a lower temperature which tends to darken the meat
in cooking. The larger the amount of sugar is used, the longer is the shelf life of the products.
NITRATES-This is also known as (saltpeter or salitre). Potassium nitrate (genuine salt peter) and
sodium nitrates (chili salt peter) can fix the colorof the processed food. Nitrates preserve the
meat product well.
VINEGAR-It also one of the curing ingredients that may help to preserve the food because of its
antiseptic value and acetic acid composition.
SPICES- It usually consist of aromatic vegetable substances used for seasoning the food. It can
be herbs, flowers, fruits, and seeds. It can be dried and ground to become a powder. The content
can be volatile oil or it can be spices like pepper, onion, garlic, paprika, laurel, oregano, etc.
BINDERS- These are additives that may help bind the meat particles together and hold the
mixture during process such as dried skim milk, cereal flour, starch, and flour.
FILLERS-These are binders which contain water soluble protein and only serve as fillers for
added weight like cereal.
EMULSIFIER-This is another type binder which contain water soluble protein which aids in the
emulsification of ingredients like dried whey.
ASCORBIC ACID-This hastens color production due to either chemical reaction of nitrates by
producing more nitric oxide or by reducing metmyoglobin (oxidized pigment which is brown) to
myoglobin (red).
