Influence of Salting Technology on the Diffusion of NaCl in Swordfish (Xiphias gladius) Fillets
Swordfish is the most widespread billfish in the aquatic environment. The industrial processing of swordfish fillets involves salting, drying, and smoking steps. Salting techniques, dry or wet, are the most common method of fish preservation.
