Fermenting is a process where microorganisms like bacteria or yeast break down sugars in food, creating acids and gases. Pickling, on the other hand, involves preserving food in a solution of vinegar or brine to prevent spoilage. Fermenting usually results in a tangy or sour flavor, while pickling gives a more acidic taste.
The main difference between salt and pickling salt is that pickling salt is a pure form of salt without any additives like iodine or anti-caking agents. This makes pickling salt ideal for preserving foods through the pickling process, as it won't affect the color or taste of the final product.
No, pickling and fermenting vegetables are not the same, although they can sometimes overlap. Pickling typically involves preserving vegetables in a solution of vinegar, salt, and spices, which creates a tangy flavor without microbial fermentation. Fermenting, on the other hand, relies on natural bacteria to convert sugars in the vegetables into lactic acid, resulting in a different flavor and texture. While both methods can preserve vegetables, their processes and outcomes differ significantly.
We need a book for a complete answer !
It is true; it is very frequently used for cabbage, cucumbers, hot peppers etc.
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.
Kosher pickles are made using a specific traditional Jewish method of pickling, while dill pickles are pickled with dill and garlic for flavor.
Idle pickling size depends on the jar you are using for pickling. My grandmother (surely a pickling expert; she survived the Great Depression) says that for the best tasting results, they should be between 5 inches and 12 inches. Anything larger dilutes the flavor of herbs in the brine.
The main differences between ale and lager production are in temperature and type of yeast used. Lager is fermented at a lower temperature than ale and uses a bottom fermenting yeast whereas ale uses a top fermenting yeast.
Any difference, both are sodium chloride.
There are many fermenting agent the main is.Yeast
No. Fermenting is a chemical change.
Bottom fermenting yeast, which produce Lager beers, are fermented at lower temperatures (around 0-5 degrees C), and take roughly twice as long to ferment as ales, which are procuced with top fermenting yeast Top fermenting yeast produce Ales and are fermented at higher temperatures (around 10-15 degrees C), and have a shorter fermentation time.
