High concentrations of salt can inhibit the growth of bacteria by causing the bacteria to shrink because water leaves the bacterial cell.

<h3>What is a Hypertonic solution?</h3>

This is defined as a type of solution which has a large amount of particles which are dissolved thereby making it have a high concentration.

High concentrations of salt applied to the outside of the meat means it is hypertonic and therefore causes the bacteria to shrink because water molecule leaves the cells thereby destroying their structure preventing metabolic reactions from occurring which leads to their death.
