I was reading Brining 101 for a class I have to teach on Meat Prep. Under chapter 1-The "Why and "What", subtopic Salt: is the statement below. My question is: is there a word or phrase missing between the words "the to" right after the word "causing"?

Salt has a couple of efforts for poultry, it dissolves protein in muscle causing the to change and trap more moisture. Combine Protein Modification and Salt and you get a reduced moisture loss during smoking.

Guess you have to call me Dr. Brining now...

Hey I must be big time if people are using my Brining 101 for class.

I believe the missing word would be "protein" (or even protein cells as Dennis said) as the cause of brining is to change the protein molecules to allow them to open up and hold more moisture than they did before the brining and of course any flavor they carry along with the salt solution will be retained.

Does that help?
