Why not DC??? --- Well considering the NACL/H2O solution  _alone_ (present
in all [esp. processed] flesh foods)  products of electrolysis and
subsequent reaction would include:

At the cathode:
Liberation of CL2 and O2 with respective CL2 absorption by, and reaction
with, the H2O and animal tissue - Yielding, among other noxious compounds,
hypochlorites and organic chlorides...

At the Anode:
Liberation of Na (Sodium) and H2  -- The sodium, in turn, reacting
immediately upon deposition with the water to produce the hydroxide
(2*Na+2*H2O -> 2*NaOH + 2*H2^) followed by (slow) saponification of the
animal fat, etc...

So... considering electrolysis of the brine _alone_ you'd be looking at a
concoction not unlike Liquid Plumber (To Wit: NaOH [a.k.a. Lye],
Hypochlorites [a.k.a. chlorine bleach] and residual salt-water (Employed in
Liquid Plumber to increase specific gravity such that said solution may be
'poured through' standing water ;)  ---- YUMMY!!!

Of course animal matter contains a plethora of electrolytes through which
substances of markedly greater toxicity might be derived via electrolysis
(e.g. amines to cyanides,  possible formation of toxalbumins, etc...) ---
Please note that I have not so much as touched upon reaction with
electrodes!

__NONE OF WHICH IS TO SAY AC IS NECESSARILY SAFE!!!__

IMESHO A frequency 60Hz is insufficient to preclude hazardous concentrations
of products of electrolytic decomposition as regards preparation of
foodstuffs...

Sincere apologies for the cursory nature of this response -- I found your
question to be both sound and, most importantly, safety related (hence my
public response) -- I hope I have satisfactorily answered same sans undue
shifting of focus to electrochemistry...

Have fun ;)
