Curing salts, composed of nitrite (NO2) and nitrate (NO3) salts, are additives used in meat products due to their multiple action, which includes inhibition of microbial growth, especially clostridium botulinum, retardation of oxidation, flavor production and cured meat aroma and color stabilization. However, under certain conditions, some studies indicate its carcinogenic potential.

Salami and other aged sausages do not undergo heat treatment to eliminate pathogens. Fermentation is required because it is an important additional barrier to the safety of these products. There are pathogens that can cause problems, such as Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella spp., Escherichia coli (STEC), Clostridium botulinum, Clostridium perfringens and Staphylococcus aureus.

A Bresaola is a type of Italian cured meat known for its soft texture, delicate flavor and dark color. It is traditionally made from lean beef, usually from back cuts. The process of preparing the bresaola involves several steps, including salting, curing and maturation. Maturation generally lasts between two or three months until bresaola become rigid and turn dark red, almost purple. But the maturation process can be much longer, resulting in a product with an increasingly complex flavor.

Prior to slaughter, the animals must be fasted and on a water diet for a period of 24 hours. The animals must be slaughtered in a slaughterhouse with a Sanitary Inspection Service for Products of Animal Origin, using the stunning/stunning technique by cerebral concussion or electronarcosis, followed by bleeding, skinning and evisceration. Then, the carcasses will be packed in polyethylene bags and cooled in a cold room at 2º C for 24 hours, so that the physical-chemical phenomenon of muscular rigor mortis occurs.

Celery, for example, contains nitrates, which under the right conditions can transform into nitrites and help color, prevent rancidity and inhibit anaerobic pathogens such as Clostridium botulinum. Beetroot can also be used for similar purposes, while cherry powder contains antioxidants and a high concentration of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) which increases the rate of nitric oxide reduced by nitrite, resulting in a reaction with myoglobin and the transformation into nitrosyl -hemochrome when heated, setting the reddish color typical of cured meats. Vinegar (acetic acid) and lemon juice can also be used, as acetic and citric acids are effective in preventing the growth of bacteria, including Listeria monocytogenes.
