Cucumbers for fermentation are normally brined at a salt concentration of about

  • A.Sixty per cent by weight
  • B.Five to eight per cent
  • C.Twenty five to thirty per cent
  • D.Half of one per cent at most

Answer: B

A starting brine near 6 per cent restrains spoilage organisms and the softening enzymes while still permitting the salt-tolerant lactic acid bacteria to work. The concentration is often raised during long storage and reduced again before the pickles are packed.
