The processes used for salting cod are generally the same in most areas and time periods, with some local variations. The colonial New England cod fishery is typical. Cod was either "dry cured" or "green cured. "For a dry cure, fish were usually cleaned, split, salted, and then stored aboard ship after each haul so they would not deteriorate at sea. Once the the ship returned to shore, the fish would be repacked, resalted, and eventually sun dried into tough, durable slabs that could be stacked and stored like wood. Dry curing was used when fishers traveled long distances to fishing grounds. In contrast, green curing, in which the fish were cleaned, salted, and dried on land rather than at sea, was used on shorter trips to nearby fishing grounds.... Because it was a faster process, green curing did not wring as much water out of the fish as dry curing. Green-cured fish therefore was considered to be of lower quality and did not last as long. 3, record 1, English, - green%20fish

It was found that [the] unhairing... process was slower with green hides than with salt cured hides; hair removal started 30 to 45 minutes later.... These differences can be explained by the influence of salt during [the] curing of hides. The salting and subsequent rehydration processes remove many soluble substances including blood proteins, simple carbohydrates, collagen and proteoglycans. 2, record 2, English, - salt%2Dcured

Le traitement pour la conservation des peaux consiste d'abord en leur déshydratation partielle, qui empêche le développement de micro-organismes. Trois méthodes peuvent être employées : le fumage, le séchage et le salage. [...] Le salage est la technique la plus employée. Il consiste à saler les peaux côté chair et à les empiler «chair contre chair»; une partie de la saumure (sel dissous dans l'humidité des peaux) pénètre dans le tissu dermique, l'autre partie s'écoule : 20 % environ de l'eau est éliminée ainsi. L'opération dure quarante-huit heures et permet une bonne conservation pendant des mois grâce aux propriétés antiseptiques du sel. Il existe une variante du salage, c'est le saumurage : les peaux sont maintenues, à température constante, dans une solution saturée de sel. Salage et saumurage produisent des peaux lourdes à transporter mais facilitent le reverdissage. 2, record 2, French, - saumur%C3%A9

Hides and skins have to be transported over distances up to several thousand miles from the slaughterhouse or meat-packing plant to the tannery. Therefore steps have to be taken to cure, or preserve, them as a protection against bacterial attack. The usual methods are salting or drying. Salting is the general practice in temperate climates, and drying in tropical or sub-tropical countries. 1, record 3, English, - salting
