Summary

The most promising membranes were used for developing and testing prototype packaging systems. A feasible self-contained rehydration system was a nylon-6 polyamide membrane that rehydrated the freeze-dried food within 30 minutes while passage of microorganisms was prevented. The temperature was 37 deg C, and the food contained 0.5 grammes-5 grammes of a low molecular weight solute (salt).
