High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Brine is water saturated or nearly saturated with a salt. It is used to preserve vegetables, fish, and meat, in a process known as brining. Brine is also commonly used to age Halloumi and Feta cheeses. Brine is also used for pickling foodstuffs, as a means of preserving them. Almost anything can be pickled - cucumbers, eggs, peppers. Common pickling flavors include garlic, dill, mustard seed, etc. Brine is a common fluid used in large refrigeration installations for the transport of heat from place to place. It is used because the addition of salt to water lowers the freezing temperature of the solution and the heat transport efficiency can be greatly enhanced for the comparatively low cost of the material. At a concentration of 23.3%, the freezing point of NaCl brine is lowered to ?21°C, and that of CaCl2 brine down to -40°C.
