Salt produces a hypertonic solution outside of the cell (more salt outside than on the inside) causing osmosis of water out of the cell to balance the solute concentration. Upon the loss of water out of the cell shrinks and the outer membrane folds improperly making nutrient diffusion and water osmosis more difficult, under very extreme conditions, enough water can be drawn out of the cell to cause the proteins in the cytoplasm to precipitate out of solution within the cell.

Why doesnt salted meat rot?
Salt will drain the meat of its water and dehydrates it. Salt has lower water potential then the water in the cell sap of the meat and water will move out of the meat through diffusion. Thus without water, no bacteria can grow on the meat because of the need for water for all living organisms.
