Pro: Salting food is a cheap and effective preservation technique.Con: The food may taste too salty if it is not properly prepared.
Food preservation involves preventing bacteria growth using methods that include freezing. Canning, pickling, dry salting, fermenting, and drying are other methods of preservation used for food items.
Smoking preservation is a method of preserving food using either hot smoke or cold smoke, the process prolongs the shelf life of the food and adds flavour. An example of smoking preservation is smoked salmon.
Depending on the type of the food many methods of preservation exist: adding sugar, salting, irradiation with gammas, freezing, lyophilisation, pasteurization etc.

Several of the most popular methods of food preservation are: Smoking Salting Brining in salt water Canning or Jarring Vacuum sealing Irradiation Infusing with spices, such as pepper, curry, etc. Sugar curing Immersion in honey Refrigeration and freezing dehydration or drying underground storage.
Lactobacilli bacteria are commonly found in the food preservation process of fermentation, such as in the making of yogurt, sauerkraut, kimchi, and pickles. They help to convert sugars into lactic acid, which acts as a natural preservative by lowering the pH and inhibiting the growth of harmful bacteria.

Methods of preserving food include smoking and drying. Canning is another common method of food preservation. Pickling is one of the oldest forms of food preservation.
Salting, sugar-curing, &c. apply osmosis in that both of these compounds are hygroscopic and thus draw water out of the food to be preserved over the semi-permeable surface of the food, from one solution into another, thus making the environment inhospitable for most bacteria and mold. Simple air drying works in the same way, but osmosis is not a factor; evaporation is.
