Description
Cured and smoked goat meat is a traditional Middle Eastern preservation method that uses salt and low-temperature smoke to inhibit spoilage.
Technical
Salt induces osmotic dehydration, lowering water activity and pH to suppress Clostridium botulinum. Low-temperature smoking deposits phenolic antioxidants that further inhibit microbes and reduce biogenic amine formation, giving the meat a distinctive smoky flavor.
