I have been reading about adding ECA to lower the ph during smoking. As I understand it, the encapsulation breaks down with the heat and releases the citric acid.
So...can someone explain how multiple websites also say ECC as as a “cure accelerator”, reducing the cure time? If it hasn’t been released till smoking temps, how can it speed up curing in the refrigerator?
