  2. Salting (food) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salting_(food)

    Sea salt being added to raw ham to make prosciutto. Salting is the preservation of food with dry edible salt. [1] It is related to pickling in general and more specifically to brining also known as fermenting (preparing food with brine, that is, salty water) and is one form of curing.

  3. Salting in - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salting_in

    Salting in refers to the effect where increasing the ionic strength of a solution increases the solubility of a solute, such as a protein. This effect tends to be observed at lower ionic strengths. [citation needed] Protein solubility is a complex function of physicochemical nature of the protein, pH, temperature, and the concentration of the ...

  4. Salting out - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salting_out

    Salting out (also known as salt-induced precipitation, salt fractionation, anti-solvent crystallization, precipitation crystallization, or drowning out) [1] is a purification technique that utilizes the reduced solubility of certain molecules in a solution of very high ionic strength.

  5. Hofmeister series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hofmeister_series

    By contrast, later salts in the series increase the solubility of nonpolar molecules ("salting in") and decrease the order in water; in effect, they weaken the hydrophobic effect. [14] [15] The "salting out" effect is commonly exploited in protein purification through the use of ammonium sulfate precipitation. [16] However, these salts also ...

  6. Curing (food preservation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curing_(food_preservation)

    Salt (sodium chloride) is the primary ingredient used in meat curing. [10] Removal of water and addition of salt to meat creates a solute-rich environment where osmotic pressure draws water out of microorganisms, slowing down their growth. [10] [11] Doing this requires a concentration of salt of nearly 20%. [11]

  7. Common-ion effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common-ion_effect

    The effect is commonly seen as an effect on the solubility of salts and other weak electrolytes. Adding an additional amount of one of the ions of the salt generally leads to increased precipitation of the salt, which reduces the concentration of both ions of the salt until the solubility equilibrium is reached. The effect is based on the fact ...

  8. Lyotropy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyotropy

    A canonical example is a surface-tethered polyelectrolyte brush with a variety of different fixed charged groups interacting with free ions and ion-pairs to minimize Gibbs free energy. Using streaming current measurements in a microslit electrokinetic system (MES), electrolyotropic theory can be used to determine stoichiometric dissociation ...

  9. Freezing-point depression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freezing-point_depression

    Workers spreading salt from a salt truck for deicing the road Freezing point depression is responsible for keeping ice cream soft below 0°C. [1]Freezing-point depression is a drop in the maximum temperature at which a substance freezes, caused when a smaller amount of another, non-volatile substance is added.
