Abstract
An improved process for curing meats is disclosed wherein the meat is bathed in a recycling pickle solution sorbing pickling agents relative to water, desorbing water and proteinaceous materials relative to pickling agents, the sorbing and desorbing changing with time the voltage reading of a pH meter having a hydrogen ion detecting electrode immersed in the pickle solution, the improvement being the placement of an ion emitter into the pickle solution to emit ions therein to anionically charge at least a portion of the pickling agents, and return the voltage reading toward its initial value.
