EVALUATION OF CANNED MEATS IN THE CIVILIAN MARKET FOR MILITARY USE

Abstract

Canned meat food items available on the civilian market were analyzed for protein and caloric content and evaluated for acceptability before and after storage at 100F for six months. A survey was made of the published reports of evaluations of military canned meat items to obtain comparative data. In general, the canned meats obtained in the civilian market were more acceptable initially but a number did not retain their acceptability under the storage conditions. In addition, a great number did not have the concentration of protein and calories required by the military consumer.
