Studies of Frozen Foil Pack Metal Components

摘要

Components selected from the foil pack meal feeding system were prepared (cooked and packaged) in a foil pack kitchen, frozen, stored in the frozen state, and evaluated organoleptically and bacteriologically after storage for time up to 12 months. These foods were studied for usefulness in a frozen component feeding system offering a la carte selection at remote sites where prestocking of nonfrozen meal components is feasible. The results of this study indicate that the frozen foods were bacteriologically safe for consumption and, in general, organoleptically acceptable. Suggestions are offered for further development of this frozen component feeding system. (Author)
