Detailed explanation-1: -Pickling is the process of preserving edible products in an acid solution, usually vinegar, or in salt solution (brine).
Detailed explanation-2: -The bacteria ferment sugars in the food to form lactic acid, which then prevents the growth of food poisoning bacteria and moulds. The amount of salt added controls the type and rate of the fermentation. If 2-5% salt is used, the fermentation is carried out by a series of bacteria that produce lactic acid.
Detailed explanation-3: -Salting is a method of preserving food, that was more common before modern refrigeration. Salting preserves food by drawing water out of the food, preventing bacteria growing and spoiling the food. The food is surrounded in salt and left in a cool dry place.
