Abstract Salinity, of both soil and water, is one of the main causes of crop yield decline. Within this context, the objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of different salts on the germination of chia seeds. The experiment was conducted in a BOD chamber at a constant temperature of 20 °C and in the presence of light. The seeds were placed on paper soaked with aqueous solutions of calcium chloride (CaCl2), sodium chloride (NaCl), potassium chloride (KCl), and magnesium chloride (MgCl2), at the osmotic potentials zero, -0.10, -0.20, -0.30, and -0.40 MPa. The effect of the salinity was evaluated using a germination test, with counts on days 7 and 14 after sowing. Based on the results, chia seeds tolerate concentrations of NaCl to -0.4 MPa and KCl to -0.20 MPa. The salts CaCl2 and MgCl2 had a negative effect on the germination and vigor of the chia seeds for the osmotic potentials -0.30 MPa and -0.20 MPa, respectively.

Two experiments were conducted using trichinae-infected pork shoulders. In the first experiment, samples of ground pork shoulder were allocated to the following treatments: (a) sodium nitrite levels of 0, 75 or 150 ppm, and (b) chloride salt levels of 2.5% sodium chloride, 3.18% potassium chloride, 1.35% magnesium chloride and 1.58% calcium chloride (for the latter three chloride salts, ionic strengths equivalent to that of 2.5% sodium chloride were used). In the second experiment, samples of ground pork shoulder were allocated to treatments in which 0, 25, 50, 75 or 100% of the sodium chloride was replaced with a 70:30 mixture of magnesium chloride: potassium chloride. Pork sausage links were made and stored for 12 d in a refrigerated display case. All chloride salts numerically reduced total plate counts compared to controls (no added salts) and calcium chloride or magnesium chloride significantly reduced total plate counts (P<.05). However, addition of sodium nitrite (75 or 150 ppm) did not affect total plate counts. Percentages of dead trichina larvae (visually determined) were greater (P<.05) for potassium chloride and sodium chloride than for magnesium or calcium chloride. However, in the second study when salts of equivalent ionic strengths were not used, replacement of sodium chloride with a 70:30 mixture of magnesium chloride: potassium chloride did not affect (increase or decrease) pH, total plate count or juice-loss during cooking. Percentages of dead trichina larvae increased for the 75 and 100% replacement levels when compared to controls.
