उत्तर
The mechanism responsible for this process is exosmosis. The addition of salt during cooking makes the surrounding medium hypertonic i.e., the surrounding medium has a lower water concentration than the cells of vegetables. As we know when a cell is immersed in a hypertonic solution, water leaves the cell by the process of exosmosis resulting in its shrinkage. Therefore, vegetables release water after adding salt during the cooking process
