Answer-
Sugar and salt curing
Many foods decay very rapidly after harvesting, especially meats. A combination of salt and sugar reduces the water content of meats, fruits and vegetables aiding in preservation. In meats sugar and salt curing is typically accompanied by smoking or some other cooking method.
Effects of salt
Sodium chloride or table salt is the main ingredient used in the preservation of meats. Salting meat draws water out and tying up the water within, making it unavailable for chemical reactions that cause decay. High concentrations of salt also interfere with the replication of microorganisms such as bacteria.
Effects of sugar
Sugar may also encourage the growth of healthy bacteria that prevent bacteria that will make you sick from growing. High concentrations of sugar also exert osmotic pressure that will draw water out of bacteria, preventing them from growing.
