Solution(By Examveda Team)
The risk of spoilage is less in salted pickles as it cause Plasmolysis.Plasmolysis is a typical response of plant cells exposed to hyperosmotic stress. The loss of turgor causes the violent detachment of the living protoplast from the cell wall. The plasmolytic process is mainly driven by the vacuole. Plasmolysis is reversible (deplasmolysis) and characteristic of living plant cells.
Salting techniques improve the drying process and add antimicrobial agents that aid in the preservation of pickles.
