REFRIGERATION BENEFITS FOR FREEZE-DRIED.

Type of article: Periodical article

Summary

A COST BENEFIT STUDY OF EIGHT FREEZE-DRIED ITEMS LED TO THE CONCLUSION THAT OF ALL THE PRODUCTS EITHER FROZEN, CANNED OR DEHYDRATED IN VARIOUS WAYS THE FREEZE-DRIED REQUIRED REFRIGERATION LEAST AND COULD BE STORED AT TEMPERATURES AS HIGH AS 311 K (38 DEG C) FOR A YEAR WITHOUT SERIOUS REDUCTION IN QUALITY. FOR UP TO 3 YEARS, UNDER NEAR NORMAL CONDITIONS OF 294 K (21 DEG C), REFRIGERATION WOULD NOT BE REQUIRED. COOLER STORAGE WOULD BE REQUIRED FOR ONE PRODUCT, I.E. SPAGHETTI AND MEAT SAUCE, IF IT HAD TO BE HELD FOR 3 YEARS AND FOR THE OTHERS IF STORED FOR 4 YEARS AND MORE. THIS IS IN CONTRAST WITH MANY CANNED PRODUCTS (INCLUDING RETORT POUCH PACKS) MANY OF WHICH DO REQUIRE REFRIGERATED STORAGE IF HELD FOR ONE YEAR OR LONGER.
