Saltiness dries the body and makes it emaciated.

يُجَفِّفُ it dries

This present-tense verb, 'it dries out', has its masculine singular subject built in, pointing back to 'the salty'. The verb agrees with that topic and then governs the object after it; the doer lives inside the verb's form.

فَيُقَشِّرُهُ وَيُجَفِّفُهُ فِي الصَّيْفِ،

He then peels it and dries it in the summer.

وَيُجَفِّفُهُ and he dries it

Built the same way as the verb before it: a joining wa- ('and') on the front, the present verb 'he dries', and the object -hu on the back, all in one word. The doubled middle letter (the shadda you can hear as a held consonant) marks an intensive, deliberate pattern of the verb, the sense of thoroughly drying something rather than just letting it dry. The -hu again tracks the same item being processed, keeping the chain of actions on one object.
