Question

why are salt and sugar solution used in the preservation of dried meat and dried fruit

Answer 1

Hi

Here devil1407

Salt:
       Salting is used because most bacteria, fungi and other potentially pathogenic organisms cannot survive in a highly salty environment, due to the hypertonic nature of salt.

Sugar:
           When foods are placed in a concentrated sugar solution water is drawn out of the cells of foods and microorganisms so that microorganisms can no longer survive.

Hope it helps u.

Thanx..Bye

Answer 2

Because salt and sugar absorbe the water in the food and the microbes are not able to grow without water
