Why would solutions with high salt content be used as food preservatives? (9.6)

The blue check mark means that this solution has been answered and checked by an expert. This guarantees that the final answer is accurate.

A solution with a high salt (solute) concentration is hypertonic to the food material. Water (solvent) will flow out of the food material into the hypertonic salt solution, resulting in “drying” of food which prevents the spoilage of food and also inhibits the growth of microbes
