Food products that are concentrated sugar solutions, such as concentrated fruit juices, can be spoiled by sugar-loving yeasts such as species of Zygosaccharomyces. Nevertheless, use of salt and sugar curing to preventmicrobial growth is an ancient technique that remains important today for the preservation of foods.

When we add salt or sugar we preserve it as it does not allow spoilage by increasing the water content and salt is an antibacterial which kills bacteria .
