Brine in a pickle tank is

  • A.A suspension of yeast in water
  • B.A solution of salt in water
  • C.A solution of sugar in water
  • D.A mixture of oil and vinegar

Answer: B

Correct answer: A solution of salt in water

Brine is simply salt dissolved in water, and its strength governs the whole fermentation: enough to suppress most spoilage organisms and to draw juice from the vegetable, but not so much as to inhibit the lactic acid bacteria themselves. The concentration is the principal control the maker has.
