Bak Kwa
Bakkwa, also known as ròugān, is a Chinese salty-sweet dried meat product similar to jerky. Bakkwa is made with a meat preservation and preparation technique originating from China.

It is traditionally made of pork, beef, or mutton, which is prepared with spices, sugar, salt and soy sauce, then dried on racks at around to a final water activity between 0.60 and 0.69. Nowadays, products with a softer texture, lighter color and less sugar are preferred. The type of bakkwa products has a higher water content, and thus has a softer texture and lower sugar content.

Brési
Brési or Braisi is beef which has been salted, dried and smoked, which is made in the canton of Jura and in Jura bernois in Switzerland and in the department of Doubs in France. It resembles Grisons Buendnerfleisch. Brési is most commonly served thinly sliced at the start of main meals, or else as a side dish with fondues. Brési first appears in works on gastronomy from about the 15th century. Its name derives from its rich red colour reminiscent of brazilwood, the (at that time highly prized) Asian timber, which at about the same time gave its name also to Brazil.

Droëwors
''Droëwors'' (; Afrikaans for " dry sausage", from Dutch: "droge worst") is a Southern African snack food, based on the traditional, coriander-seed spiced boerewors sausage. It is usually made as a ''dunwors'' (Afrikaans for "thin sausage") rather than ''dikwors'' ("thick sausage"), as the thinner sausage dries quicker and is thus, less likely to spoil before it can be preserved. If ''dikwors'' is to be used, it is usually flattened to provide a larger surface area for drying. The recipe used for these dried sausages is similar to that for boerewors, although pork and veal are usually replaced by beef, as the former can go rancid when dried, and mutton fat replaces the pork fat used in boerewors. Drying makes the sausage suitable for unrefrigerated storage. Droëwors is unusual among dried meats in being dried quickly in warm, dry conditions, unlike traditional droge worst and Italian cured salumi, which are dried slowly in relatively cold and humid conditions.

The alpaca (''Lama pacos'') is a species of South American camelid mammal. Traditionally, alpacas were kept in herds that grazed on the level heights of the Andes of Southern Peru, Western Bolivia, Ecuador, and Northern Chile. More recently, alpacas may be found on farms and ranches worldwide, with thousands of animals born and raised annually. Alpacas are especially popular in North America, Europe, and Australia.

These breeds' fibers are used for making knitted and woven items, similar to sheep's wool.

Charqui
Jerky is lean trimmed meat strips which are dehydrated to prevent spoilage and seasoned to varying degrees. Normally, this drying includes the addition of salt to prevent microbial growth through osmosis. The word "jerky" derives from the Quechua word '' ch'arki'' which means "dried, salted meat". Modern manufactured jerky is often marinated, prepared with a seasoned spice rub or liquid, or smoked with low heat (usually under ). Store-bought jerky commonly includes sweeteners such as brown sugar. Jerky is ready to eat, needs no additional preparation, and can be stored for months without refrigeration. A proper protein-to-moisture content is required in the final cured product to ensure maximum shelf-life. Many products that are sold as jerky consist of highly processed, chopped, and formed meat rather than traditional sliced whole-muscle meat. These products may contain more fat, but moisture content, as in the whole-muscle product, must meet a 0.75 to 1 moisture-to p ...
