Introduction
Pickling
The preservation of food in common salt
(or) in vinegar is known as pickling.

preserving fruits and vegetables.

palatability of a meal. They stimulate the flow

Recipe of banana pickles


Method
Pickling is done in two stages
(1) By curing (or) fermentation with dry salting (or)
fermentation in brine (or) salting without fermentation.
(2) By finishing and packing.

Pickling is the result of fermentation by lactic acid


forming bacteria which are generally present in large
numbers on the surface of fresh vegetables and fruits.

Method

Bacteria can grow in acid medium and in the presence


of 8-10% salt solution whereas the growth of a majority
of undesirable organisms is inhibited.
Lactic acid bacteria are most active at 30oC, so this
temperature must be maintained as far as possible
in the early stage of pickle making.
When vegetables are placed in brine, it penetrates into
the tissues of the vegetables and soluble material
present in them diffuses into the brine by osmosis.

Method
The soluble material includes fermentable
sugars and minerals.

The sugars serve as food for lactic acid bacteria


which convert them into lactic acid and other acids.
The acid brine thus formed acts upon
vegetables tissues to produce the
characteristics taste and aroma of pickle.
There are two methods for pickling
1. Dry salting method
2. Fermentation in brine
