ACCEPTABILITY OF SHELTER RATIONS IN COMBINATION WITH ADJUNCTS

Abstract

The present civil defense rations, in combination with adjuncts designed to enhance their acceptability, were subjected to sensory evaluation by volunteers representative of the country's adult population. Fifteen adjuncts had median or above preference scores with all three rations; any of these could be used in shelter habitability studies. Information relating to the role of subject background, age, and sex on adjunct-ration preferences is presented, and its usefulness in increasing acceptability of the present rations is discussed.
